Comment: This one was kinda rushed, but it includes the solo. Hope you
         like it and please, if you use it and find it useful let me know.
         Comments good or bad are welcome.

[Main Base line]: Note this is a very important elemant in the song.
                  Other than some light strumming and some nice sounding
                  licks here and there this base line drives the song.
                  <note: I could very well be completely wrong :) >

[Main Guitar Riff]: Chords that are played under the base.  This is acoustic
                    guitar and is strummed very _lightly_.  This part is very
                    hard to make out so once again it is could be wrong.

Intro: [MAIN RIFF] 4x's


[Main Riff]:  Played through entire song, except when [BASE Fill 1] is
              played then [Main Riff] starts up again

I lay my head on her bosom
To cry myself to sleep  
I see no greater wisdom    [BASE Fill 1]
She has given me           [Main Riff] starts up here after this line


[Fill 1][electric]:  This is a SLOW slide.  Listen to the CD

La Dolly Vita       [Fill 1]
Sweet as true love
La Dolly Vita       [Fill 1]
Cool as ice cream  
Cool as ice cream

[Main Riff]
You hear a lot of visions
You can't even stop
Can't see what you're missing
Spinning like a top

[small variation from the main riff]: Figure it out.  Not tuff.
Fade away I want to see her
Fade away I want to see her  
I only want to meet her  

[Main Riff]
La Dolly Vita       [Fill 1]
True as blue sky  
La Dolly Vita       [Fill 1]
Cool as ice cream  
Cool as ice cream  

[Some Crash Cymbols]
Take it all the way down  
Forsake ones you have now  
Take it all the way down  

[Sorry the outro escapes me.  Its really distorted and hard to figure out]
