Tabbed by: sugapablo
Album: It's Only Rock n Roll

Tuning: Standard

Note:
For the guitar effect used, I get something close with a slow phaser and wah pedal.

   Keepin' papers on me six feet high     It gets me down, it gets me (back to PART 1 for "down").





At around 2:33 on the album version there is a breakdown/jam led by the bass.

[BASS]

G|-------------------------------------------|
D|-----------1-------------------------------|
A|-----1---3---3-1----------1---3--1h3-3-----|
E|-1-3---3---------3----1-3---3--------------|


There are a lot of gratuitous uses of wah with a crisp high chord that's simply:

                                   - / -   ( - = wah pushed forward, / = wah rocked back )
