Confusion

web-site (all of which are very good I hasten to add), I picked up my trusty instrument
of destruction and immediately broke my top e string. Being forced to make do until the
shops open tomorrow morning and I manage to pinch the pennies from my wife's purse, I
have worked out an alternate way of playing this song. I actually think (?!) it sounds
closest to the original - shoot me if it doesn't!

Intro BASS bit first
        e ---|------------------|------------------| 
        b ---|------------------|------------------| 


A       g ---|------------------|------------------|
        d ---|------------------|------------------|      
        a ---|-----------7-7----|-----------7-7----|      
        E -0-|-3-slide-5------0-|-3-slide-5------0-| etc. 

Verse 1
        e ------------|-------------| 
        b -----5----5-|-----5-----5-| 


A       g ---6--6-6---|---6---6-6---|
        d -7----------|-7-----------| 
        a -0----------|-------------| 
        E ------------|-------------| 

        e ------------|-------------| 
        b -----8----8-|-----8-----8-| 


A7      g ---6--6-6---|---6---6-6---|
        d -7----------|-7-----------| 
        a -0----------|-------------| 
        E ------------|-------------| 

        e ------------|-------------| 
        b -----7----7-|-----7-----7-| 


D       g ---7--7-7---|---7---7-7---|
        d -7----------|-7-----------| 
        a ------------|-------------| 
        E ------------|-------------| 

Repeat this pattern until you reach the .............


Chorus
                E           Bm             A

        e ------------|-------------|-------------| 
        b -----9----9-|-----7-----7-|-----5-----5-| 
        g ---9--9-9---|---7---7-7---|---6---6-6---| 
        d -9----------|-9-----------|-7-----------| 
        a ------------|-------------|-------------| 
        E ------------|-------------|-------------| 


Also try adding the odd .............

A with slide
        e --------------------|-------------| 
        b -------------5----5-|-----5-----5-| 


A       g -----------6--6-6---|---6---6-6---|
        d -5-slide-7----------|-7-----------| 
        a --------------------|-------------| 
        E --------------------|-------------| 

and make use of the open A - let it ring dude!
        e ------------|-------------| 
        b -----5----5-|-----5-----5-| 


A       g ---6--6-6---|---6---6-6---|
        d ------------|-------------| 
        a -0----------|-0-----------| 
        E ------------|-------------| 

NOTE the extra note in each bar - it helps give the rhythm and flow to the song.

I hope this makes sense - CONFUSION - yes indeedy!
