Francis' backing part is almost the same as the first chorus so I'm not
going to write that down again. But after this sequence, the next
sequence is played repeatedly:
|F |F |Eb |Eb |Bb |Bb |F |F |
and during the fourth time the song is faded out. But there are some
major differences here:
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +
You have to bend these six E|------------------|
quavers very slowly. Position B|3b3b3b4b4b4-4r3-1-|
your finger before the third G|------------------|
fret of the b-string, and D|------------------|
play six quavers. You're doing A|------------------|
it right when you've reached E|------------------|
the pitch of the note on the
fourth position at the same time
that you're playing the sixth quaver. Or just ignore
what I've just said and listen to the record (CD-time 3:24 - 3:25)
The last three bars of the third time:
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +
Same story as above but E|------------------6-----|
this time you bend from B|8-8-8-8-9-9-9-9-9---9r8-|
the eight position to G|------------------------|
the pitch of the ninth D|------------------------|
in 8 semiquavers. A|------------------------|
(CD-time 3:32 - 3:37) E|------------------------|
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +
E|------------------|----------------|
B|------------------|----------------|
G|----3p1---1---1---|----------------| And this is really the last
D|--3-----3---3---3-|1-------1---1-3-| note I can hear. But since
A|------------------|--3-1-----3-----| it is the tonic, it's a good
E|------------------|------4---------| end.
Rick's part:
============
Rick is playing the rhythm part palm muted throughout the song.
Intro and Chorus:
Chord sequence:
|F |F |Eb |Eb |Bb |Bb |F |F |
Each chord is played during 2 bars. Rick plays the following rhyhtm.
I will only give two bars. I've given the chords under "Chords and
rhythm".
Backing during the riff:
Each time Francis appears with that typical riff over two bars, he's
playing it four times. During the first two times, Rick's guitar is
at rest (for four bars). During the second two times Rick is playing:
Status Quo:
