I had a request out a few pages ago. I finally found the chords on some site, as posted below.

Eb: x-6-8-8-8-x
F: 1-3-3-2-1-1
Bb: x-1-3-3-3-x
Bb in chorus:
6-8-8-7-6-6

VERSE 2:

So, aside the solo, this is supposed to be it. Any thoughts? Any suggested strumming patterns?

"I wonder if a composer ever intentionally composed a piece that was physically impossible to play and stuck it away to be found years later after his death, knowing it would forever drive perfectionist musicians crazy." - George Carlin
Great one :D
I never played this one before so I am feeling my way through.
First off I am playing open chords and it sounds good to me.
I am play DUmuteDUmute
Muting right after the upstroke (just like in David Hodges, Horse with no name lesson)
Seems to sound about right.
