Comment: This one was kinda rushed, but it includes the solo. Hope you
         like it and please, if you use it and find it useful let me know.
         Comments good or bad are welcome.

[Main Base line]: Note this is a very important elemant in the song.
                  Other than some light strumming and some nice sounding
                  licks here and there this base line drives the song.
                   note: I could very well be completely wrong :) >

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

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

A Dolly Vita       [Fill 1]
Sweet as true love
A Dolly Vita       [Fill 1]
Cool as ice cream
Cool as ice cream

[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]
A Dolly Vita       [Fill 1]
True as blue sky
A 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]

                        TRANSCRIPTION BY: David Balogh
                              ([email protected])

        This song is pretty simple.  It consists of one basic part.
  It looks like this:
e[-------2---2--2-0--2----2-2----2------2---2--2-0--2----2-2-]
B[--0h2--2-2-2--2-0--2-2--2-2--2-2-0h2--2-2-2--2-0--2-2--2-2-]
G[--3----3-3-3--3-3--3-3--3-3--3-3-3----3-3-3--3-3--3-3--3-3-]
D[--4----4-4-4--4-4--4-4--4-4--4-4-4----4-4-4--4-4--4-4--4-4-]
A[--4----4-4-4--4-4--4-4--4-4--4-4-4----4-4-4--4-4--4-4--4-4-]
E[--0h2--2-2-2--2-0----2--2-2--2---0h2--2-2-2--2-0----2--2-2-]

        There are a few slide parts.  If you want to learn those, look at
Carlos Bustos's tab.  He has all the slide parts tabbed
out.
        The most common variation is like this:
e[--3--2----------------]
B[--5--4----------------]    When Billy sings:
G[--5--4------PAUSE-----]    "cool as ice cream"
D[--5--4----------------]    there is no pause, go straight
A[--3--2----------------]     into the one main part.
E[----------------------]

    Another part of the song, an interlude has this:
e[--2------0-------2-------0------]
B[--2------0-------2-------0------]  with ad-lib guitar noise
G[--3------3-------3-------3------]   (the slide part is just
D[--4------4-------4-------4------]      slow and quiet)
A[--4------4-------4-------4------]
E[--2------0-------2-------0------]

        I have an idea on how the outro goes, but it doesn't
 sound exactly right, so if anyone can correct me, please do so.
e[-------------------0---0---0----]
B[--2--2-2-22-2-2--0-0-0-0-0-0----]   I can kinda hear a slide
G[--3--3-3-33-3-3--3-3-3-3-3-3----]    part that sounds like
D[--4--4-4-44-4-4--4-4-4-4-4-4----]     this right here:
A[--4--4-4-44-4-4--4---4---4------]     A[--9s7-7-9s7-7-9--]
E[--2--2-2-22-2-2--0---0---0------]
               BOTH GUITARS HAVE HEAVY DISTORTION!!!!!

 SONG ENDS ON F#

        The story behind the weird crashing sound at the end is
 not one I know.  If anybody can explain what is #$&@ is going
 on!!!!!!!!!!!!!
