Play this four times. Each time you hit the low G note, do the 5s7 to get back to E on
7th fret. I don’t have the solo tabbed. After the solo, hit an E, let it ring, while
“You had to be there” a few times. Then go into the chorus again, bumping the chords up
the 7th, 10th, and 12th frets. End by playing chorus normally again. Let the last E ring.
is correct. I know I've written the timing wrong, but the notes are right.
