During the first verse, keep repeating the section above between |:
and :|
occasionally playing it this way to emphasize the words:

-----------------------------------
-----------------------------------
---2----2----2----2--2--2--2--2----
---2----2----2-2--2--2--2--2--2----
-----3----5----0-------------------
-----------------------------------
^ v ^ v ^ v ^ ^ ^ ^ ^

Then after 'They got a lot o' nice girls' comes the break. Resume
playing
the same as above with heavy distortion:

Keep repeating the part in between |: :| during the second verse, then
after 'I might be mistaken', switch to:

Pgina 1 / 2

Then, during the guitar solo, keep playing the above section between
|: :|
When the solo comes to an end, this is the pattern and the break:

------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------
---------------------------------8--8-10--
----10-10--10--10--10--10-----10-8--8-10--

(I usually play the D string with my pick and the E string with
my middle finger. You can, of course, play both with your pick)

Repeat the break between |: and :| twice, then go back to the


clean part (same as the very first section). Play it 4 times,
hit the distortion, and play the same as the first verse until the
fade...
