[Main Base line]:

Note this is a very important element in the song.
Other than some light strumming and some nice sounding
licks here and there this base line drives the song.
<note: I could very well be completely wrong :) >

[Main Guitar Riff]:

Chords that are played under the bass. This is acoustic
guitar and is strummed very _lightly_. This part is very
hard to make out so once again it is could be wrong.
<Boy i bet you're confident about this tab now :) >

[Main Riff]:

Played through entire song, except when [BASE Fill 1] is
played then [Main Riff] starts up again

I lay my head on her bosom
To cry myself to sleep
I see no greater wisdom [BASE Fill 1]
She has given me [Main Riff] starts up here after this line


[Fill 1][electric]: This is a SLOW slide. Listen to the CD

[Main Riff]
You hear a lot of visions
You can't even stop
Can't see what you're missing
Spinning like a top

[small variation from the main riff]: Figure it out. Not tuff.
Fade away I want to see her
Fade away I want to see her
I only want to meet her

[Main Riff]
La Dolly Vita [Fill 1]
True as blue sky
La Dolly Vita [Fill 1]
Cool as ice cream
Cool as ice cream

[Some Crash Cymbols]
Take it all the way down
Forsake ones you have now
Take it all the way down

[Sorry the outro escapes me. Its really distorted and hard to figure out]
