Throughout the verses and the chorus, there are gaps to fill, do little licks to fill the space and look super cool. I havent out all of Jeff's little licks because half the fun is improvising them. Also, with the use different positions and inversions to set up different licks. Here are some examples: Chords and fills for A: (finger A w/ your index barring, and use your pinky and ring finger for the allowing the chord to continue ringing) e|--------------------------|--5---5h7p5-------------------|---0----| B|-2---2h3p2----------------|--5---------5h7p5-------------|---5----| G|-2----------2h4p2---------|--6----------------6h7p6------|---6----| D|-2-----------------2h4p2--|--7---------------------------|---7----| A|-0------------------------|--0---------------------------|---0----| E|--------------------------|------------------------------|--------| (cut the chord from ringing and pick the notes, while hitting other muted strings with pick for a slightly funkier sound) e|-----------------------------------------| B|-2---------------------------------------| G|-2---------2--4--2-----------------------| D|-2----2/4-----------4---2----------------| A|-0---(0)---------------------------------| E|-----------------------------------------| Some ideas for (let the chord ring and use your ring finger for the hammer-ons-and-pull-offs) e|--2----------------------------------|-2-------------------------| B|--3----------------------------------|-3--3h5p3------------------| G|--2---2h4p2--------------------------|-2--------2h4p2------------| D|--4----------2-h-4--4-p-2------------|-4-------------2h4p2-------| A|--2------------------------2-/-4--4--|-2--------------------2/4--| E|-------------------------------------|---------------------------| Or these: (for these, hit some extra strings or strum the whole chord throughout when you do the ons, for an extra chunky feel) e|-----7------------------------------| B|-----7------------------------------| G|-----7----7--9----------------------| D|-----7----------9---7---------------| A|-----9----------------7--9--7-------| E|-----7------------------------------| e|----2---2---2-------------------------------------| B|----3---3---3-------------------------------------| G|----2---4---4-------------------------------------| D|----4---4---2-------------------------------------| A|----2---2---2-------------------------------------| E|--------------------------------------------------| And for , just the chord shapes are shifted up frets. To End each chord progression, i ussualy use an octave part, shown below, to go to the starting A chord.

CHORUS Same chord progression as the verses, but with a different ending and some other as follows: (note:the first chorus has a different entrance than the other ones. Instead the chord, it uses the octave part from the intro (which is sandwiched between the $$$ signs the intro tab part above) then goes to the chord and continues normally) e|0-------------------------7---------/9------------------------| B|5-------------------------7---------/9------------------------| G|6-------------------------7---------/9------------------------| D|7-------------------------7---------/9------------------------| A|0-------------------------9---------/11-----------------------| E|--------------------------7---------/9------------------------| I see my light come shining down e|------------------x----x--------0-----------------------| B|------------------x----x--------2-----------------------| G|-----------------11---13---\----2-----------------------| D|-----------------12---14---\----2-----------------------| A|------------------x----x--------0-----------------------| E|-----------------10---12---\----------------------------| From the west into the east e|--0--------------2------------4----------------------------------| B|--2--------------3------------5----7---5----3----2/3---3---2-----| G|--2--------------2------------4----7---6----4----3/4---4---2-----| D|--2--------------4------------6----x---x----x----x/x---x---x-----| A|--0--------------2------------4----5---4----2----1/2---2---0-----| E|-----------------------------------------------------------------| .......Any day now, any way now, I shall be release..........ed. FIRST BRIDGE After the first chorus, there is a mini bridge part before the second verse begins. This not be the perfect tab of it, but it's damn close. Suggestions/comments are of course welcomed. Notes: % strum some muted strings along with the actual notes & Hold the bar shape and finger notes with ring finger, letting all the notes sustain ring) % & e|------5---5---5----------------------------7----------------------| B|------5---5---5----------------------------7----------------------| G|------6---6---6----------------------------7-----9--7-------------| D|------7---7---7----------------------------7----------9--7--------| A|------7---7---7---------5--7--5------------9----------------9--7--| E|----5-----------5x--5/7----------7--5--5/7------------------------| (bar 9th fret w/ index finger) e|---------------------------------------------------0--| B|--------------9---9h10p9---------------------------0--| G|--------------9----------9h11p9-----------11--9-------| D|----------9---------------------9h11p9----12--11------| A|------------------------------------------0---0-------| E|--7/---9----------------------------------------------| SECOND BRIDGE After the second verse, there is another, less complicated bridge going into the third final verse. I am ashamed to admitt, I wasn't too taken with it. By which I mean it's but instead of learning it, I just made up my own thing, which is below. Sorry! It's not hard though if you want to learn it yourself, the chord shapes in this tab are a great to start. 1+2+.3..+..4+ 1+2+3+.4+.....1.+.2+3+4+1 e|-14------0----------------0--------0-0----0--0---| B|-14------0-----------9----0--------3/5----3--2---| G|-14------11----------9----6--------2/4----2--2---| D|-14------12----------9----7--------4/6----4--2---| A|-0-------0-----------0----0--------0-0-------0---| E|-------------------------------------------------| ...1..+.2+3+.4.+.....1 3+..4+ 1.+.2+3+4+1 e|-0-------0---0-----0-------0---0--------0-0----0------------| B|-0-------12--10----0-------10--9--------3/5----3--2---------| G|-10\9----9---9-----7-------9---9--------2/4----2--2---------| D|-12\11---11--11----9-------7---7--------4/6----4--2---------| A|-0-------0---0-----0-------0---0--------0-0----0--0---------| E|------------------------------------------------------------|
