After Riff 1 their is a small Fill I play this Fill up
on the 12th fret but you can use the 7th fret on the A
String if it would be easier for you. This is used throught the whole
song, if you miss it its no big deal. It will sound fine without it.

played a bit billy will start in the Chorus when this happens play Riff 2.
Then he will sing "Well you say that you are..." When he sings this Play
