[More Notes]                                               
Nice idea for drum fill + guitar at same time to get &1xx 2xx 3x&       
Strum up with all fingers of right hand and then back down with thumb      
to play the snare for 1& then play snare and fingers together for          
2xx then just snare on 3 and then just fingers with bass for x&            
                
[Solo]                                  
With solo you can allude to it in chords
Pick up  - Dm Dm 
Dmadd9 (x57585) Dm                 
Gm Gm7(B-6) F x
Gm Gm7(B-6) F       
A with run
  
Run is 3 triplets then final phrase - pluck with fingers and thumb and emphasise the one of each triplet

[Old notes]                                              
Chords are variation on (see end for more notes)

[Section 1 - Twice]                                                
Dm (line is B - 6, G - 7 .... G - 7, B - 6)                        
4 notes over 3 pattern B6 G7 x G7                                  
Actually can just play Dm7 Dm x Dm which alludes to line           
Horn line just before G                                            
Octaves - A-5+B-3 to A-9+B-6                                       
Fingering is important - play with 1 and 3                         
so can get to Gadd9 quickly                                        
Gadd9 G (second time G G(B-5) G)                                   
F G                                                                
Dm Dm(B-8) Dm pattern 1(Dm) xx 2(Dm(B-8)) Xx Dm                    
Play above all with downstrokes to get right feel                  
Means have to play snare hit quickly after down stroke             
[Second time around]                                               
Octaves - A-5+B-3 to A-9+B-6

G G(B-5) G -- simulate guitar G G9 pull off to G                   
(Can potentially get away with playing G7 which frees up finger    
for these lines and full E 5p3 B 6 line before playing F           
F G
