version 2
first tune down half a step (Eb Ab Db Gb Bb eb)
Legend
G C D A B !=Bend full
eb-3--0--5--5--7-- h=hammer
Bb-0--1--5--5--7-- p=pull
Gb-0--0--5--6--8-- (?)=harmonics
Db-0--2--5--7--9-- /-slide up
Ab-2--3--3--7--9-- slide down
Eb-3--------5--7-- ~=vibrate
Intro (riff 1) only on E and A strings.
Ab-----------5p0-0-------------------|
Eb---0--6h7--------3-0--0-0--(3)-(3)-|repeat 4x
The verse (Hitch a ride...) is just a G chord
strum and let off palm mute slightly throughout.
Pre chorus alternate between G and C chords.
The Pre chorus lead is played using an Ebow which
increases the sustain of the string, however with the
right kind of distortion, you can get away with it.
It is all played on the Gb string.
~~~~~~~ 3x
Gb--0--2/4------42-:|--/97--/974| repeat full riff 2x
The chorus (Precious Decleration...) is the same as pre
chorus (G and C chords) but ends with a sudden D strummed
three times.
The lead line over the chorus I can't quite figure out
as far as I can tell it is on the Db, Gb, and Bb strings.
Somwhere between the 12 and 14 frets. If you figure this
out E-mail me. If I do figure it out, I'll get it posted.
The Bridge (Once I jumped...) is a Barre chord A and
a barre chord B muted. Ending with the same D as above.
The solo (from Jay Leno) is also on the Gb string.
