E||----------------------------------|| (. short)

G||-----------------------------6/7--|| This last slide has to be
D||---7---7-------7-----7-------6/7--|| played real quick. As it's
A||7-7-7-7-7---7-7---7-7---7---4/5-|| just for the effect, the
E||-5---5---5---5-----5-----5--------|| time for the first chord

. . . (C#5) should be very short.

(guitar with overdrive)

1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + What really is important here, is


E|--------------------------------| that this rhythm-guitar holds
B|------------------------7---5---| this C-chord until the second
G|------------------------7---5---| half of the first beat of the
D|------------------------7---5---| next bar. It's not starting with
A|7-7-7-7-7---7-7---7-7---5---3---| that rhythm again immediately on
E|5-5-5-5-5---5-5---5-5-----------| the first beat. It's the other

(C) rhythm guitar that just goes on,
on the first beat. That's why
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + (6x) I've placed the chord between


E||----------------------------------|| brackets. Don't strike it but
B||(5)---------------------7---5---|| just let it ring. I advise
G||-(5)---------------------7---5----|| you to listen to the last
D||-(5)---------------------7---5----|| bars on the record (CD-time
A||(3)-7-7-7---7-7---7-7---5---3---|| 3:46/3:57). You can hear it
E||-----5-5-5---5-5---5-5------------|| very clear on that spot (this

guitar is panned on the
right) as there is no sing-
ing.
Another thing that you have to do, while playing this chord, is
pulling the strings a bit downward with your fretting hand, to make
the pitch a bit higher like Francis is also doing with his voice.

Outro:

After Verse 3, the break is repeated and then follows the outro, that
starts with a change of time-signature. The 4/4 time changes in 3/4
time for one bar:

This last chord rings on til the end
of the next bar and it's making a dive
to an F-chord and back to C again.
It might be a tremolo-bar but I don't
think so. Do you? It had to be played
on a stratocaster then? I think they
did that effect later.

Second rhythm guitar:


This guitar is given some more low while treble is turned a bit down.
It is panned left on the record.

Eight bars rest (Intro and first lines of the verse).
