this string is picked |
every now and then
The Guitar follows the Bass line for the first section then goes
into more lead material. The bass follows the notes given below
with a few minor slide techniques.
Prelude: This is probably keyboard NOVATION BASS STATION
but here is what it would look like with guitar
(x4)

B|-12-13-15-13-12----12----|-12-13(hold)-
G|----------------12----10-|-------------
D|-------------------------|-------------
A|-------------------------|-------------
E|-------------------------|-------------
Interlude: One guitar playing a slightly muted A power chord for a few bars.
Another guitar picking between the 5th fret on the B string and the 2nd fret
on the G string. Or alternatively use the intro chord above if using one guitar.
F# E G#
Here we go She's on a hidden tableau
D A
just a 2-for-1 and the 2-for-1 is right
E D A <----|
down my alleyside I'm just a wasting behind |

Intro chord could be played here depending |
on whether a lead guitar is used or not |
Interlude:
F# E G#
don't you know its an easy thing when it's lost
D A
doesn't show when the ends are frayed .....and its tossed out
E D A
lined with silver thread I've seen you wasted behind

You could choose to omit the thumb and move these notes onto the D String instead.
I reckon that this is how it is really played, but I like the thumb technique when
playing this solo guitar.
Here we go .. she's on a hidden tableua
Just a two for one .. And a two for one is right
Down my alley sight .. I'm just a wasted ... beehive
Don't you know its an easy thing when it's lost
Does it show when the ends are frayed and it's tossed out
Lined with silver thread .. I 've seen your wasted ... beehive
She's so lacidasical .. should've been a west coast bride
Backseat on electric glide .. pilots flying drive by fades
Don't hold your breath too long .. this tunnel is a Texas mile
Cavities and yellow eyes .. bleach a daisy second prize
Cherry pickin vagrants ... my da' was locked I guess I'd feel fine
The way the river bends .. the one who's bendin' over me
la da da da da da ...
