I don't think I've got the timing right above, so you'll have to listen
real closely. Richard's part goes for a beat or a part of a beat before
Tom's. Most of the song is this riff. The second solo (jam) is over
that.
Little scale part:
Play 3x last time
Tom: --------------10-8-7------|-----10-8-7-------------|
------7-8-10-7------10-8-7|-7-8--------10-8-7------|
--sl/9--------------------|--------------------9-7-|
--------------------------|------------------------|
--------------------------|------------------------|
--------------------------|------------------------|
Richard: Em C Am Am
I misremember the chords under this scale, so check them.
Then the Life in the hive... part (listen to vocal):
|D C|, with someone playing notes from the D mixolydian scale (Tom?),
ended with Gmaj7 chord and the following riff (Tom?):
Tom: ------------8-p-7--------------------------|
------------------7------------------------|
--------------------7----------------------|
-------------------------------------------|
-------------------------------------------|
-------------------------------------------|
The first solo (Tom) is a set of three scales with pauses in between, played
with alone, each in D mixolydian. The first starts on 15th fret D on the
B string and ends on 9th fret F# on the A string. It covers all notes in
between. The second starts on 10th fret A on the B string and goes to
5th fret D on the A string (then slides to 9th fret F#). Listen closely to
the song to catch the repeats. I don't have a guitar here, so I can't
check it to be sure and can't exactly remember what to do here. :(
The third part is:
v
Tom: -----19-19-19-19-17-15-17-19-17-15-17-19-17-15-17---22----|

Tom: ------------8-p-7--------------------------|

Second verse..., same as the first.
Second solo is over the main riff and is in D mixolydian. It starts slowly
and builds to a massive climax. The solo is one massive improv--Tom goes
pretty crazy through this part. Afterwards there are some chords
I remember
how the darkness doubled
I recall
lightning struck itself.
I was listening
listening to the rain
I was hearing
hearing something else.
Life in the hive puckered up my night,
the kiss of death, the embrace of life.
There I stand neath the Marquee Moon
Just waiting,
Hesitating...
I ain't waiting
I spoke to a man
down at the tracks.
I asked him
how he don't go mad.
He said "Look here junior, don't you be so happy.
And for Heaven's sake, don't you be so sad."
Well a Cadillac
it pulled out of the graveyard.
Pulled up to me
all they said get in.
Then the Cadillac
it puttered back into the graveyard.
And me,
I got out again.
