a---5-----------0-----3--------------7778887799977799---999----- E---3-----------------------------------------------------------
Closer, much closer / Close to the core!
I'm not quite sure about this thing in the end of the pre-Chorus... the sound of this album is not that great, so it's really hard to hear.
Leadguitar:
e-------7-----8-----12----15----12------------------------------
b---------------------------------------------------------------
g-----4----5-----9----------------------------------------------
d---------------------------------------------------------------
a---------------------------------------------------------------
E---------------------------------------------------------------
To find out the timing, just follow the chord progression.
Then on the second time:
e-------7-----8-----12----8----10b12~~--------------------------
b---------------------------------------------------------------
g-----4----5-----9----------------------------------------------
d---------------------------------------------------------------
a---------------------------------------------------------------
E---------------------------------------------------------------
The Chorus is identical to the intro.
1st solo rhythm:
e---------------------------------------------------------------
b---------------------------------------------------------------
g---------------------------------------------------------------
d--------------------7------------------------------------------
a----9-----------7---5---7--------------------------------------
E----7-----------5-------5--------------------------------------
all right, now the solo... in the first one is almost impossible to be accurate.
Start with this bend:
e---------------------------------------------------------------
b------17b19~~--------------------------------------------------
g---------------------------------------------------------------
d---------------------------------------------------------------
a---------------------------------------------------------------
E---------------------------------------------------------------
Then he does some improvisation or something, using D major pentatonic. To come closer to what he does, use hammer-ons and blues notes. It then ends with this bend:
e---------------------------------------------------------------
b-------15b17~--------------------------------------------------
g---------------------------------------------------------------
d---------------------------------------------------------------
a---------------------------------------------------------------
E---------------------------------------------------------------
