I've been trying to work this out for a while - the only thing that's got me stumped a bit is the intro riff.....

OK, I'm playing, basically, a Bb5 chord up at the 6th fret and trying to add on to it - but it's turning into a Bb7sus4 and then something else.....

I know Quo play this with two guitars, when I saw them last year, I was 3 rows back from the stage and I was trying to watch both guitarists fingers at the same time, not easy when they're on opposite sides of the stage.....

So is Frank playing that descending riff in single notes, and Rick doing the riff like a fast blues shuffle? I can't tell.....

What I'm playing is something like this....


G 8 7
D 6 6 10
A 8 8 8 8 8 10 8 8 8 10 8 8 8 10 8 8
E 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6

that's repeated, then it's Bb5 and Bb6 for the first two lines, then - that needn't concern us, I've got the rest of the song - it's just the intro - any ideas?

:D :D :D
