I see the world... Streets filled with blood...
Help me Jesus... He said he cannot...
Every couple of times through the main riff they add one of these to
the end:
E |----------------------|
B |----------------------|
G |----------------------|
D |---10/12-13\----------|
A |---10/12-13\----------|
D |----------------------|
The chorus follows the same basic pattern as the main riff:
E |-----------------------------------------------------------------|
B |-----------------------------------------------------------------|
G |-----------------------------------------------------------------|
D |---5--5/8-8-8\3-3---5--5/8--8--8/10-10-10------------------------|
A |---5--5/8-8-8\3-3---5--5/8--8--8/10-10-10------------------------|
D |---5--5/8-8-8\3-3---5--5/8--8--8/10-10-10------------------------|
Knock it down... Knock it down...
That's how.. In a land ...
They alternate between the main part and the chorus a couple of times
before they go into the solo.
The main riff continues behind the solo, broken up here into the two
main parts:
Solo - Part 1
E |---------------------------------------------------------|
B |---------------------------------------------------------|
G |-/7--7h8-7--7h8-7\5-5----5/7-7-7-7h8-8b10r8-8p7p5-5h7-5--|

|--let ring....
For the end of the part above, hit the G and B strings at 10 and 8 at
the same time, letting the B ring, and bending the G up a whole step so
it becomes the same pitch as the B string (make sense?).
After the solo, there's one of these:
E |---------------|
B |---------------|
G |---------------|
D |---10/12-13\---| and then it goes back into the main part of the
A |---10/12-13\---| song again.("twist of fate won't give me... ")
D |---------------|
Before the song ends, it goes back to the chorus part again ("oh fadin'
... knock it down...") to close out the song, with part 1 of the solo
behind it.
That's it... Comments and suggestions are more than welcome. I know
the solos may be kinda rough, but then again, Pepper's playing is kinda
sloppy anyway in the solos. :) Have fun...
