Intro
Fade in... keep repeating (about 6 times)

      D             A               C            G
||-----------------------------------------------------------|
||-----------------------------------------------------------|
||-----------------------------------------------------------|
||-------4--7---------------------------2--5-----------------|
||----5-----------------4--7---------3--------------2--5-----|
||-------------------5---------------------------3-----------|


On the last repeating:
||----------------------------------------------------------------|
||----------------------------------------------------------------|
||----------------------------------------------------------------|
||-------4--7---------------------------2--5----------------------|
||----5-----------------4--7---------3--------------2--5--5~~~~---|
||-------------------5---------------------------3----------------|


Breaking the intro,
MAIN RIFF
                       D   D
||------------------------------------|
||------------------------------------|
||---------------------7---7----------|
||---------------------7---7----------|
||----------3-----3----5---5----------|
||-----3h5-----5----------------------|


Fill (may be lacking some notes but you can get the idea)
||---------3------3------------------------|
||-----5b-----5b-----5b---3------5-----3---|
||----------------------------5-----5------|
||-----------------------------------------|
||-----------------------------------------|
||-----------------------------------------|


Alex does some cool hard-rock fills EVERYWHERE thru the music
that are hard for me to get, but they are all variations
of the first Fill, you can improvize and make your own
Lifeson Fill :)

Keep repeating the MAIN RIFF and adding some fills around :)

until..
"No one to stick with you till the eeeeeend..."

G           F        D
   Take yourself a friend
G           F        D
   Keep'em till the end, ooh ooh
G           F        D
   Whether woman or man,
F             G        A
   makes you feel so good, so good...


ENDING
repeat INTRO till Fade Out...
