That's the first eight measures of the song. In fact, that's the bass line for
all the verses. If you have a bass and a guitar both, the bass should play this throughout (except for the chorus) and the guitar should not come in until
the third line of the first verse ("when the party lulls..."). If you have just a guitar, then you should play this for the first two lines of the first verse.
There is, of course, ad lib. on the actual recording, but this is the basic pattern.
And this is "riff c". (slide) e(1) !------------5/10!8-------------10!7-------------!----------------! B(2) !----------3-----!----------------!---------10p8h!10----10--------! G(3) !--------2-------! (pull-off and hammer-on) !0---------------!
Also, throughout the chorus, there's a pretty typical sus4/add2 chord pattern; for example, on the D chord, do something like this to the note on e(1): e(1) !2-----2-2-3---5-!--3---2---0---2-! Do the same thing on the second string while playing the A chord at the end of the chorus. On the C chord, hammer-on to the third fret on the second string (Cadd2) in a similar pattern.
verse 1 riff a \Becomes your special book, it was simple then
riff b When the party lulls, if we fall by the side
riff b Will you be remembered? Will she be remembered? (Asus4/A)
chorus
Alone in a crowd, a bartered lantern borrowed
If I'm to be your camera, then who will be your face?
verse 2 riff b I fell by your bed once; I didn't want to tell you riff b I should keep myself inbetween th pages riff b Of the green light room if we fall by the side riff b Will you be remembered? Will she be remembered? (Asus4/A)
chorus
play riff c twice, then:
verse 3 riff b Becomes your special book, it was simple then riff b When the party lulls, if we fall by the side riff b I still like you; can you rememeber? (Asus4/A)
