This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

This is one of my favorites....my guitar teacher

figured this out.The song starts out with the horns

and every thing.Then the guitar comes in with a

combination of these three cords:

          e--9--10--11--|
          B--9--10--11--|
          G--9--10--11--|
          D-------------|
          A-------------|
          E-------------|

Then you got the solo: (this is probably correct)

  e--------------3---5--4--5--------------------|
  B------3--3--6--------------6--5--6-----------|
  G----3-----------6-------------------7--7--7--|
  D--5------------------------------------------|
  A---------------------------------------------|
  E---------------------------------------------|
  e--4--4--4--0--4--4--13--11--10--------------------|
  B--3--3--3--0--3--3--------------13----------------|
  G-----------------------------------10--10---------|
  D------------------------------------------10--12--|
  A--------------------------------------------------|
  E--------------------------------------------------|
  e--------------------------------------------|
  B---------10--13--12--10--12--13-------------|
  G--10--11------------------------12--14--15--|
  D--------------------------------------------|
  A--------------------------------------------|
  E--------------------------------------------|
  e--15--15--14--14--13--13--12--|
  B--15--15--14--14--13--13--12--|    (i think)
  G--15--15--14--14--13--13--12--|
  D------------------------------|
  A------------------------------|
  E------------------------------|

After that he plays some kinda thing where he slides

in from the 2nd fret on the g string to the 3rd.

I don't exactly know. There is much more guitar in

the song than is written here....I just wanted to

get the main parts up on the internet. If you have

any additions, e-mail 'em to me.
