*1st few bars of solo are the main riff, then bass switches to this:

Em D A

|-------------------|-------------------|----------------------|

*This last 'A' changes everytime, and it's hard to tell what he's

|-(5)-(7)-(9)---------|
|-(5)-(7)-------------|
|-(5)-(7)-------------|
|-(5)-(7)-------------|
