This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.
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
[Sorry the outro escapes me. Its really distorted and hard to figure out]

TRANSCRIPTION BY: David Balogh

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#

not one I know. If anybody can explain what is #$&@ is going
