Key: The main riff is played on baÄ?lama, which is an eastern variaton of lute. This is a version for acoustic guitar (add a little palm-muting where you feel it): e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|---------3-2-2-0--------0--------------------------------------------------| D|-------------------3-----------2-------3-3-2-------------------------------| A|-3-3-3-3---------3---3-3---3-3---4-4-4-------4-3--3-3-3--3-4---------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|-------------0-0-2-2-2-3-3-3-5---6-6-5-5-3-3-2-2----5--3-2-0---------------| D|-----2-2-3-3---------------------------------------------------------------| A|-3-3---------------------------3-----------------3-------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Listen to the song to get that rhytm into your hands. This is played over the baÄ?lama melody later on: e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|-5-----6--5----5-----6--5---5-----6--5---5-6-5---5-6-5---------------------| D|-----5-------------5------------5------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Chords in the Chorus (for acoustic guitar, for electric just play two lowest notes of each one): e|-3----------1----------1----------4----------------------------------------| B|-4----------1----------1----------4----------------------------------------| G|-5----------3----------1----------5----------------------------------------| D|-5----------3----------3----------6----------------------------------------| A|-3----------1----------3----------6----------------------------------------| E|-----------------------1----------4----------------------------------------| In the bridge there is a short part where the baÄ?lama player plays something else, just improvise over that bit ;) ************************************
