Transcribed by Emil Ortenmark, emil@kissasylum.com
Tuned down 1/2-step
Comments: For some odd reason Paul and Ace share the alternating D-G chords
in the beginning but then each of them play the whole chords later on. Ace
throws in a couple of nice inversions here and there to spice things up and
packs in a few cool melodic fills as well. The solo? Ace in chicken picking
mode. But he doesn't damp the string that well letting some pick harmonics
get through.

She can move you and improve you
With her love and her devotion
And she'll thrill you and she'll chill you
But you're headed for commotion
[Rhy. Fig 4a w/ Rhy. Fig 4d]
And you'll need her so you'll feed her
