  • A-Intro/First Verse
     
    The song begins with (Jon Lord's) wonderful keyboards. The keyboard parts
  • mainly outline these chord changes, that could be strummed if you don't play
    with a keyboard player.
     
  • Who knows where the cold wind blows? I ask my friends, but nobody knows...

    B-Second Verse
  •  
    The acoustic guitar enters, arpeggiating the same chords(almost). It is pos-
    soble that the slide in the Bsus2 chord should be a hammer-on. It is also
  • possible that I just have tin ears, but I do think I hear SOME sort of grace
    note there. Anyway, it is just a detail, so if the fingering is tricky to you,
    forget it.NOTE: What I call "dive bomb" slide has nothing to do with the thing
  • you do with the whammy bar. I just don't know what else you call those long,
    fast slides down the low E-string.

  • ()=These notes are there, but I can't make out if they are played by the

    Let E5-chord ring
    Make sure to nail that staccato rhythm, and to shake that last B5-chord in
  • every bar a little. (Maybe it would make more sense to place the 2/4 bar
    after the A5-chord, but that's one for the music theory guys to think about.)

    Verse 3:
    I was alone,And I needed love. So much I'd sacrifice for all I was dreaming of.
  •  
    (With Rhy.fig3)
     
  • I heard no warning, but a heart can tell... I feel the emptiness of love I know
    so well...
     
  • D-Chorus.
     
    Those slighly muted G5-Chords are the key to the fat, chunky sound. I don't
  • really remember if those "extra" chunks on the open and fifth fret of the A-
    string really are on the record, but experiment with 16th-note chunks there.
    It can sound very cool...

    E-Guitar Solo
     
  • The rhythm part behind the solo is a semi-distorted electric, playing a pro-
    gression almost like the one in Rhythm Figure 1. The chords are the same, but
    I think they are arpeggiated a little differently. Play that, and nobody will
  • notice. The solo is a slow beautiful melody thing, that should not be hard to
    figure out. I haven't transcribed it, since I work out my own leads for the co-
    ver tunes I learn.(Try it, it's great fun).The last three bars of the rhythm
  • part goes something like this.

    |--2--3-----|----|-----| With Verse 1. "Lord have mercy...
    Love ain't no stranger!!!"
  • F-Agressive part.(Dunno what else to call it)
     
    Play this part aggressively(Why do I keep giving these instructions? You know
  • how the record sounds. Oh, well...).

  • H-Outro
    Turn down the volume knob on your guitar a bit for this tone. This is mainly
    Rhythm Figure 1, again with some different arpeggiations.

    There we are. I hope I haven't forgotten anything, but I'm too sick of this
  • machine to double check anything. If something is missing, or if something is
    unclear, mail me. If the guy who requested this song still needed it and found
    it useful, I would appreciate it if he mailed me and let me know. That goes for
  • everyone else who finds use for it as well. It is always nice to get some feed-
    back.
