  [Main Base line]: 
  
    Note this is a very important element in the song.
    Other than some light strumming and some nice sounding
    licks here and there this base line drives the song.

  [Main Guitar Riff]: 
  
    Chords that are played under the bass.  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.

  [BASS Fill 1]:  
  
    Just the bass and Jimmy's cymbols here.
    Can be played on guitar also.

  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  
  
  [Solo][electric]:  
  
    I KNOW this isn't exact, but its sounds fairly close.
    oh yah, you better appreciate this solo!

  [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]
