    Okay these are the main riffs there are other twidly bits played by Steve
    Craddock. I`ve worked some of them out there is no need to play them note
  • for note they`re all based in a Bmin pentatonic, so just improvise.
     
    Okay here we go.
  •  
    Intro:
     
  • Blow *8 Bhigh*4 Ehigh*2 Blow*2 F#high*2 Blow*2
     
    Steve plays the following riff starting on the F#high to lead into verse 1:
  • Note again this isn`t exact but it`s what I play,(listen to the song to get
    the timing right).
     
  • E|10--7--10--7--10--7--10-12b(14)l12-10-10h12p10----10------------------------
    B|-----------------------------------------------12----10 -------------10b(12)
    G|--------------------------------------------------------11------------------
  • D|-----------------------------------------------------------12-12\9----------
     
    Verse1:
  •  
    Blow*4
    I see double up ahead
  • Elow*2
    Where the riverboat swayed beneath the sun
    Blow*2
  • Is where the river runs red
    Elow*2
    Like a king who stalks the wings and shoots a dove
  • Blow*2
    And frees an eagle instead
    xE xF# xB (these are notes on low E string)
  • It`s more or less the same as the things that you said.
     
    The following Riff is played before going into verse 2:
  •  
    A|----0---0-2(hold for 2 bars while other guitar plays a wah bit)
    E|0-2---2----
  •  
    Verse2:
     
  • Blow*4
    I see trouble up the road
    Elow*2
  • Like the thing you found in love are by the way
    Blow*2
    And like to cheat on your soul
  • Elow*2
    Like the best and worst of thoughts that lose control
    Blow*2
  • Before you lie on your bed
    xE xF# xB (these are notes on low E string)
    It`s more or less the same as the things that you said.
  •  
     
    The following Riff is played before going into chorus:
  •  
    RiffV A|----0---0-2
    E|0-2---2----
