Tom: G
Transcribed by Emil Ortenmark,
Standard tuning
Comments: I like these chords, specially when the "harmony" part comes in
by the second verse. There is also some very good solo guitar work here
(although the last G natural against the E major chord in Riff 3 is a little
annoying even with the gradual bend to the A ). The high A's that fade in
(both bent and straight) give a slightly eerie feel to the track. And you
got to love Gene's castrato vocals during the jamming outro.
