Tuned down 1/2-step
Comments: For some odd reason Paul and Ace share the alternating D-G chords
in the beginning but then each of them play the whole chords later on. Ace
throws in a couple of nice inversions here and there to spice things up and
packs in a few cool melodic fills as well. The solo? Ace in chicken picking
mode. But he doesn't damp the string that well letting some pick harmonics
get through.
Key:
/ = slide up
\ = slide down

Whoo, hoo, yeah

Whoo, hoo, yeah
Rhy. ig 3a w/ Rhy. ig 3c

And you'll love it and think of it
Till you lose all intuition
Come on

She can move you and improve you
With her love and her devotion
And she'll thrill you and she'll chill you
But you're headed for commotion
Rhy. ig 4a w/ Rhy. ig 4d
And you'll need her so you'll feed her
With your endless dedication

And the quicker you get sicker
She'll remove your medication
Rhy. ig 5 w/ Riff 3

Get the firehouse
'Cause she sets my soul afire
Get the firehouse
And the flames keep gettin' higher

She's like bad weather but it seems so good
You'd never leave her but you know you should
Solo over Rhy. ig 2 (2x
Rhy. ig 6 w/ Riff 4 and Riff 5
She's like bad weather but it seems so good
You'd never leave her but you know you should
Rhy. ig 7 w/ Riff 6

'Cause she sets my soul afire
