Backing chords for the solo are played the same way as the chorus, but instead of C and D
play A and D

B --3-3--3-3--3-3--3-3--3-3-3--| (of course, it would be auspicious to
G --0-0--0-0--0-0--0-0--0-0-0--| accent the bass notes to give it that
D --0-0--0-0--0-0--0-0--0-0-0--| cool song that the song cannot live
A --x-x--x-x--x-x--x-x--x-x-x--| without. -h- stands for hammer-on)

G --4-4--4-4--4-4--4-4--4-4-4-| (this time instead of hammering on, it
