[Bridge - Quiet bit] (Drums x 4 triplet figure - no chords One hand - bounce off strings - and bass drum on 2 and 4 Then play chords as barres so can mute effectively x7999x 577655 799877 - pattern 123 123 123 1xx) - can also use Higher Ground rhythm if works better

[Less chords bit] (Play E loud once and sustain then just drums until A and B) [E] "Doooooooooooooooooown" [A][B] [E] "Doooooooooooooooooown" [A][B] (Triple drums back in - Higher Ground)
[Chorus] [E] Oh sit down, Oh sit down, Oh sit down [A] Sit down next to [B] me [E] Sit down down down down dow [A] n in sympa [B] thy
[E] Oh sit down, Oh sit down, Oh sit down [A] Sit down next to [B] me [E] Sit down down down down dow [A] n in sympa [B] thy (Finish on triplet fills and then "Down" - Slide D# to E)
[End] [Notes] [Intro - Solo 1] Riff and solo - same approach as Dire Straits - Walk of life Flick first notes so really ring out Drum B SS B S E --- 0-0 --- --- --- --- 4*- 2-- 0-- --- --2 --2 B --- 0-0 --- --- --- --- 5-- 0-- 2-- --- --2 --4 G --- 1-1 --- --- --- --- 4-- 1-- 2-- --- --2 --4 D --- 2-2 --- --- --- --- 6-- 2-- 2-- --- --2 --4 A --- 2-2 --- --- --- --- x-- x-- 0-- --- --0 --2 E 0-- 0-0 --- --- --- --- 0-- x-- --- --- --- --- Rh123 D B-- S-S--BS * - think as being like a min7 chord but do not fret the root of it - use tip of finger to mute A string can slide up then from E and stops any wrong notes from ringing out
