The intro is a standard RJ intro: playing double stops with the bass line walking down from the minor seventh (D) to the fifth (B) while keeping the high root note (E in this case) constant. This intro can be played in many different versions, easy to find out for all keys. Watching the DVD version you can see that EC's playing it on a strat with no pick using the notes: I------0----12----12----12------------0-----0---0---0--------2-2-----I I------------------------------0-----------------------0---0-0-0-----I I--------------------------------------------------------2---2-2-----I I-/12----12-11-11-10-10----10--9-------------------------------------I I------------------------------------/5-5-5-4-4-3-3-2--2-----2-2-----I I--------------------------------------------------------------------I 0:00 0:05 When you... The next thing is the rhythm part we need as backgroud for the vocals. Note the quick change form, chord A (IV) in the second bar. The good thing is that we can use the riff we've learned at the rhythm page: E/E6 A/A6 B/B6 I--------------------------------------------------------------------I I--------------------------------------------------------------------I I------------------------------------------0-------------------------I I-------------------0-----2-2--4-4--2-2--4---4---4-4--6-6--4-4--6-6--I I--2-2--4-4--2-2--4---4---0-0--0-0--0-0--0---0---2-2--2-2--2-2--2-2--I I--0-0--0-0--0-0--0---0----------------------------------------------I We have some nice fills between, for example the first one at 0:16 (MAMJ): I--------------------------------I I-/5-5\--------------------------I I--------2-0---------------------I I------------2-2~~---------------I I-------------------2-4-4--------I I-------------------0-0-0-...----I 0:16 At the end of the first verse at 0:36 (MAMJ) we have a typical turnaround. We can play the notes from the intro as well as the other ones from the rhythm page. The next verses are played the same way. At 2:10 a short solo (RJ didn't play a solo on his version!) starts, almost the same style as the "Unplugged" solo of "Before You Accuse Me": I-/10-10-10-10-10-10-10---9--9--7-0-------------/10-10-10-/10-10-10-/10-10-10-/10-10-10-----10-12-------I I-/12-12-12-12-12-12-12--10-10--9-0-------------/12-12-12-/12-12-12-/12-12-12-/12-12-12-/12-------12\10-I I-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I I-----------------------------------2-4-4-2-2-----------------------------------------------------------I I-----------------------------------0-0-0-0-0-----------------------------------------------------------I I-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I 2:10 I--------------------7-6-5------------------7-6-5----5--------------------------------------------------I I----10---8~~------5-------8b-5-----------5-------8b---8b-5~~----------------0-0-3-0--------------------I I--9----9-------/6--------------/9~~---/6----------------------7-\4------------------0h2-0--------------I I-------------------------------------------------------------------5h6p5h6----------------2------------I I-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I I--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------0----------I 2:20 I-0-0--------0-----------------------------------7-6-5----7---------------------------------------------I I-----3--0-3----7h10-7h10p7--------------------5-------8b---8b-5---5-5---5-------------------0-0---0-0--I I---------------------------9b-7b-----------/6-------------------7-----7------0-2-0-2-0------2-2---2-2--I I---------------------------------9~~~--------------------------------------2-0-2-0-2-0-2-2-------------I I---------------------------------------------------------------------------2---0-------2-2------2---2--I I---------------------------------------------------------------------------0-------------0-------------I 2:28 The rest is played all this way, including the ending.
