[Main Base line]: Note this is a very important elemant in the song.
Other than some light strumming and some nice sounding
licks here and there this base line drives the song.

[Main Guitar Riff]: Chords that are played under the base. This is acoustic
guitar and is strummed very _lightly_. This part is very
hard to make out so once again it is could be wrong.

[Main Riff]
You hear a lot of visions
You can't even stop
Can't see what you're missing
Spinning like a top
[small variation from the main riff]: Figure it out. Not tuff.
Fade away I want to see her
Fade away I want to see her
I only want to meet her
[Main Riff]
La Dolly Vita [Fill 1]
True as blue sky
La Dolly Vita [Fill 1]
Cool as ice cream
Cool as ice cream
[Some Crash Cymbols]
Take it all the way down
Forsake ones you have now
Take it all the way down

This song is pretty simple. It consists of one basic part.
It looks like this:
| e[ 2 2 2 0 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 0 2 2 2 ] |
| B[ 0h2 2 2 2 2 0 2 2 2 2 2 2 0h2 2 2 2 2 0 2 2 2 2 ] |
| G[ 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 ] |
| D[ 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 ] |
| A[ 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 ] |
| E[ 0h2 2 2 2 2 0 2 2 2 2 0h2 2 2 2 2 0 2 2 2 ] |
There are a few slide parts. If you want to learn those, look at
Carlos Bustos's tab. He has all the slide parts tabbed
out.
The most common variation is like this:
e[--3--2----------------]
B[--5--4----------------] When Billy sings:
| G[ 5 4 PAUSE ] "cool as ice cream" |
| D[ 5 4 ] there is no pause, go straight |
| A[ 3 2 ] into the one main part. |
| E[ ] |
Another part of the song, an interlude has this:
e[--2------0-------2-------0------]
| B[ 2 0 2 0 ] with ad lib guitar noise |
| G[ 3 3 3 3 ] (the slide part is just |
| D[ 4 4 4 4 ] slow and quiet) |
| A[ 4 4 4 4 ] |
| E[ 2 0 2 0 ] |
I have an idea on how the outro goes, but it doesn't
sound exactly right, so if anyone can correct me, please do so.
e[-------------------0---0---0-------------------------------]
B[--2--2-2-22-2-2--0-0-0-0-0-0-------------------------------] I can kinda hear a slide
G[--3--3-3-33-3-3--3-3-3-3-3-3-------------------------------] part that sounds like
D[--4--4-4-44-4-4--4-4-4-4-4-4-------------------------------] this right here:
| A[ 4 4 4 44 4 4 4 4 4 ] A[ 9s7 7 9s7 7 9 ] |
| E[ 2 2 2 22 2 2 0 0 0 ] |
BOTH GUITARS HAVE HEAVY DISTORTION!!!!!
SONG ENDS ON F#
The story behind the weird crashing sound at the end is
not one I know. If anybody can explain what is #$&@ is going
on!!!!!!!!!!!!!
