[intro: slide into the open D from around the 10th fret on the D string. ]

[       and play it with your eyes closed, and hit strings that aren'twriten]
[ fill: pick the 5th fret and bend it up a full step, release it, and then pull-off
to the 3rd and play the D (5th/A) staccatto                 ]
[bridge:this part is near the end, and i dont know what else to call it,]
[      'cept a bridge...it's a free strum, changing the chords every sooften]
[       ...also, in the last verse, these become sort of fills, strummed ]
[       freely in between the little verse lick. ]
[outro: drone the open D when you bend that E, and do the same type of bend ]
[       as before, then play the 10th fret doublestops and the first chordin]
[       the bridge section. ]
