You'll have to listen to the song for the rhythm--sorry!! There are hammer-ons for both chords as follows: (A) (D) |--0---------------| |--0>2-------------| |--0>2-------------| |--3---------------| |--2---------------| |--2---------------| |--2---------------| |--0---------------| |--0---------------| |--0---------------| |--0---------------| |--0---------------| *The lyrics in this section are as follows: Forgot my woman, lost my friends Things I'd done and where I've been Sleep in sweat the mirrors cold See my face it's growin' old Scared to death no reason why Do whatever to get me by Think about the thing I said Read the page it's cold and dead Take me home (5 times then the outro:) *The outro is simply the Main Melody played ONCE ONLY and then play Fill I with the D chord ending to the lyric: Say goodbye don't follow Thats my best guess......This is a really cool tune.
