The verse riff,upon which most of the song is built, is very similar in

structure to the intro. The only difference is the beginning and the end. In

other words, it's just this over and over again: 

   rhy.fig.1-

   E------5-----------------------|

   B---2--5-----------4b-4-4r-----|

   G---2--2-----------4b-4-4r-----|

   D---2--2-----------4b-4-4r-----|

   A---0------3b-p0---------------|

   E------------------------------|



       A(palm muted)        

   Back when Cain was able way before the stable

   Lightning struck right down from the sky 



At this point, the guitar plays this:

  rhy.fig 2-

       D5    C#5 C5  B5    B

  E------------------------2----|

  B------------------------4----|

  G----7----7--6--5--4-----4----|

  D----7----7--6--5--4-----4----|

  A----5----5--4--3--2-----2----|

  E-----------------------------| (strum the last chord in rhythm with the song)

                                                    

  A mothership with faith said "Let's give it a try"(rhy.fig 1)

  A

  Conscience was related

  Man, he was created

  Lady Luck took him by surprise(rhy.fig.2)

                                                    E

  Her sweet and bitter fruit it surely opened his eyes

chorus-

          D

  Well, she ate it

  F

  Lordy it was love at first bite(rhy.fig 1)  

           D

  Well she ate it

   G                         F#m         E

  Never knowin' wrong from right right right



The chord progression is pretty much the same until the end. The rest of the

lyrics go like this:

 

   Even Eve in Eden

   voices tried deceivin' with lies to show the lady the way

   At first she stopped and turned and tried to walk away

   

   Man, he was believer

   Lady was deceiver so the story goes, but you see

   The snake was he and she just climbed right up his tree

   So...(go into chorus)



   Science was related

   man, he was created when Lady Luck took him by surprise

   Her sweet and bitter fruit it surely opened his eyes

  

   Evil came like rain an' who knows who's to blame an'

   Somethin' tried to lay her to waste 

   and all she'd want to need was just a little taste

   (chorus)

 

End on a variation of rhy.fig. 1 and throw the E chord in over "that's

right!" That's basically it. It should be pretty accurate because it's

similar if not identical to the way that Joe Perry played it in a

Rockumentary clip of Texxas Jam '78(I'm pretty sure that's what it was).

Please consider posting the solo if you know it.
