bare with me..this isnt really organized that great..
the tab above is basically just the little riffs Mike McCready plays
or at least what you can play..they are not exactly correct..but you
can always just fiddle around..do what feels right..
For what i've labeled (A) in the tab.. you just fool around and play that
little riff i gave.. no need to just play the same over and over again
add little hammer ons and pull offs and different switches.. while
the rhythm is basically just the chord A strummed over and over again
listen for the timing.. sort of strum slow then fast then slow and let it
linger through out the verses.. then when it gets to the transition on
part (B) play D B(?) A C and then that little riff i gave.
and thats about it.. until it changes to the "things were different then"
part.. which is just G and A back and forth.(you can add little harmonics
hammerons pull offs, whatever you like)
here is the lyrics with chords.. this song isnt perfect.. words and tab
I'm 17 years old and only been playing a year so don't expect much
but when i play it..i think it sounds ok.
