Intro:
  +  4  +  +   1  +  +  2  +  +  3  +  +  4  +  +

  when you start with an upstroke the pick-pattern will be easier

                        * bend 1/4 note

Use alternate strokes and emphasize the downstrokes
    1 + + 2 + + 3 + + 4 + +  1 + + 2 + + 3 + + 4 + +

E||-3---3-3---3-3---3-3---3-|3---3-3---3-3---3-3---3-|

Notice the difference in the pattern of this D-chord.
It follows the line of the harp.

                                * bend slowly
Solo:

    .         .         .         .         .         .     (. = short)

              use a wide vibrato

    *bend from 12 to 13 and
     from there to 14 (at the very end of the bar)
  1        +  +  2 +  +  3 + + 4 +  +

At the end of the last two verses play the following turnaround:

Overdubs:
With exception of the first verse the following lick is played over
the D-chord in progression I:

      I make a small bar for the interval on the 12th position.
      I fret the other two intervals with my ringfinger on the
      g-string and my middlefinger on the b-string and shift my
      lefthand from position 13 to 10 and back.
The second overdub is played over the ending of the song

         *pitch harmonic                              *release slowly

==========
Verse:
. means short (as always), - means as long as possible.
In other words, the first stroke (which has the longest time-value)
has to be played short, while you'll let the second stroke (which
has the shortest time-value) ring until the next stroke. I hope this
isn't confusing. Maybe you should have take a look at the notes I made
about the rhythm-guitar in Rockin' All Over The World.
    1 + + 2 + + 3 + + 4 + +  1 + + 2 + + 3 + + 4 + +   For the chord,
E||-------------------------|------------------------| make a bar and
B||*------------------------|------------------------| use your middle-
G||-4---4-----4-4---4-----4-|4---4-----4-4---4-----4-| finger on the
D||-3---3-----3-3---3-----3-|3---3-----3-3---3-----3-| third and your
A||*5---5-7---5-5---5-7---5-|5---5-7---5-5---5-7---5-| ringfinger on
E||-3---3-3---3-3---3-3---3-|3---3-3---3-3---3-3---3-| the fifth string
    .   - .   - .   - .   - etc.

Repeat the whole thing but the second time replace the last bar by:
  1 + + 2 + + 3 + + 4 + +  1 + + 2 + + 3 + + 4 + +

Play the third verse as the first but without the repetition and
replace the last two bars by:

Bars 3 and 4 and bars 7 and 8 of the progression under the other
verses differ from the first verse. The pattern of the D-chord
follows the harp there. So in the other verses replace them by:

Solo:
For the solo-backing play progression II (you can find it under
"chords and rhythm") and use the same boogie patterns as for the
verses.
Last two verses:
Play the last two verses as the first verse but replace the last
three bars by:

                              *grab this D-chord with your pinky
                               on the B-string and your middlefinger
  1 + + 2 + + 3 + + 4 + +      on the G-string. This enables you to
