Notes: For the chorus bar chords sound nice on an acoustic, power chords sound better on electrics. The chord changes for the solo are as follows: /D G /A G /D G /D A /D G /Bm A /D Bm /Em A /G / DF# D/ with / / representing 1 measure.

Additional Notes by Oliver K. Reichl: There are at least five "guitars" in this tune. The electric is definitely some sort of Les Paul (of vintage stock with Scholzian modifications, no doubt).
