|-------------------------|--2----------------------|	This section was

|--0----------------------|--2----------------------|	around the  part
|--2----------------------|--0----------------------|	played with  the
|--3-----2-----0----------|-------------------------|	piano  at   this 
|--------------------3----|-------------------------|	point  in  Wes's
   1  .  2  .  3  .  4  .    1  .  2  .  3  .  4  .	recording.

Notes:
      * `^' means downstroke, `h' means hammer-on.

      * In the 4th bar of this section, the 3rd beat and  it's  half-beat  can
	either be played using the hammer-on to the treble note as shown above
	(in which case the chord on the 3rd beat becomes Dsus2),  which is one
	of my personal favourite colourings,  or the normal D fingering can be
	retained, with a downstroke on the 3rd beat and  an  upstroke  on  the
	following half-beat.

      * Don't worry unduly about playing only those strings shown in the  tabs
	when doing downstrokes with your plectrum or thumb.  In particular the
	C chord strums are shown with the treble-E string not played, but this
	isn't always easy to get right, so don't worry, be happy :-)

      * A reasonably flexible but reasonably firm pick/plectrum is best if you
	want to do this riff (IMHO).

G E N E R A L   N O T E S
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
     1.	If you are playing solo, then the most important thing is to  keep  up
	the rhythm and chords, so you can forget the lead guitar  solo  parts.
	I like to use the last 4 bars  of  the OPTIONAL RHYTHM PART FOR RIFF A
	as my intro, and obviously stick to the RIFF A after the first  verse,
	using it again after the second verse, where the recording has RIFF B.
	In place of the OUTRO, I just strum the chords of  the  rhythm  guitar
	part,  allowing the words (person... person... person... yeay) to hold
	the flow of the ending, and then finish with a flourish.

     2.	As always, learn the rhythm of the song from the recording.

     3. Enjoy!
