Alex does some cool hard-rock fills EVERYWHERE thru the music 
that are hard for me to get, but they are all variations 
of the first Fill, you can improvize and make your own 
Lifeson Fill :) 
 
Keep repeating the MAIN RIFF and adding some fills around :) 
 
until.. 
"No one to stick with you till the eeeeeend..." 
 
G           F        D 
   Take yourself a friend 
G           F        D 
   Keep'em till the end, ooh ooh 
G           F        D 
   Whether woman or man, 
F             G        A 
   makes you feel so good, so good... 
 
 
ENDING 
repeat INTRO till Fade Out...
