Fmaj7 (vamp to fill) You get the picture. As for the bridge, it's a pretty simple ascending line, but fuck me if I can figure out the bleeding key, though I think it's from A so: A - B - C - D All majors, and each last for a full measure before changing. If you have any better ideas, please tell me. I haven't figured out the solos, I tend just to go a touch off my head and improvise, but I'll work on it and get you that in the future. Another hint, I know Kristen plays it like I wrote it above, but when I first started work on it I played a slightly (only very) different way, that was easier and sounded smashing: Simply substitute these chords for the original ones (same root): F6 C9 D9 e--O e--O e----|O b--3 b--3 b--3-| g--2 g--O g--2-| d--3 d--2 d--0-| a--X a--3 a--X-| E--X E--X E--X-|  www.TAB6.com
