Legend: w,h,q,e,s = whole,half,quarter,eighth,sixteenth H,Q,E = dotted half, quarter, eighth + = tie / = slide up \ = slide down r = rest ^ = strum h = hammer p = pulloff . = staccato x = mute or percussive () = optional note Performance notes: I found the G#7 in the bridge pretty rough initially; slide the C#min7 up to the 8th fret, add the pinky at the 11th on the 3rd, then oblique the index finger to the 9th on the 5th. Cleans up fairly quickly. Comments, suggestions, corrections: crickman@bellsouth.net
