(repeat outro 2x)
That's the whole song. You'll notice though that on the breakdown riff
Willie is playing part 3 while Mark plays part 2 and Mark does a kind
of slight squeal with the bends in part 2. Also on the verse when you
do the slide from the 11th fret to the 15th fret and then the squeal
on the A string, you can also play it on the higher D string from the 6th
fret to the 10th fret if the 15th fret on the A is to hard for you to squeal.
Although it is a little harder to squeal the 15th sounds better.
