SOLO: IMPROVISED ANTI-SOLO :P
When I play the song, I improvise it totally but with the phaser on it sounds just like the real record.
Try to imitate the rhythm on the recording, play some barred figures
high up the neck like this:
------------I-------18--I
---13----12-I--14---18--I
---13----12-I--14---18--I
---13----12-I--14---18--I

I can't handle on the mantle
I'm upset 'til I'm home
It's the season, I'm all reason
No, I have seen through, no, I've grown
She's at the seams
Cheat on me
Cheat on me
Cheat on me
At the seams
And I seem
At the seams
Cheat on me
At the seams
I'm a lecher, I'm a planter
I've set something in the guard
I'm on a handle, on the mantle
I'm not Santa, I met God
She's at the seam
Cheat on me
Cheat on me
Cheat on me
Cheat on me
At the seams
At the seams
At the seams
Cheat on me
I'm a lady, can you save me?
It's the sulfur, I have drunk
'Tis the season, and I'm all reason
I have fleas, so run on home
She's the seam
Cheat on me
Cheat on me
Cheat on me
Cheat on me
Cheat on me
Cheat on me
At the seams
At the seams
Cheat on me
