So much for verses and choruses. The rest are pretty much the same, except that the rest of the verses hit the G chord a little sooner (at the beginning of the third line of the verse).
Here's the guitar solo in the middle:
E A E -|----------------------7--7--15b(17)--15b(17)--b(17)15------------- -|----------------------0--0---------------------------------------- -|----------------------9--9---------------------------------------- -|------------------------------------------------------------------ -|------------------------------------------------------------------ -|------------------------------------------------------------------ 'Cos here she comes A E -|-------------------------------------------------------------------------- -|--b(17)15b(17)15---------------13b(14)------------------b(17)15----------- -|------------------b(14)12---------------b(14)12b(14)12-----------12------- -|---------------------------14----------------------------------------14~-- -|-------------------------------------------------------------------------- -|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Later, there's a neat riff in one of the last verses. I think it comes right after "will you won't you want me to make you" or something like that. This is a cool riff with that looonnnng slide.
-|--12--15b(17)--b(17)15--12------12---------------------------------------- -|----------------------------15------15\10-----10b(12)--b(12)10--8--------- -|-------------------------------------------9-----------------------7--9--- -|-------------------------------------------------------------------------- -|-------------------------------------------------------------------------- -|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
As the song fades into the first ending, there are some nice bend releases, while the lyrics repeat "coming down fast":
-|--b(17)15------------------------------------------------------------ -|-----------b(17)15--------------------------------------------------- -|--------------------b(16)14------------------------------------------ -|-----------------------------b(14)12--------------------------------- -|--------------------------------------b(14)12------------------------ -|---------------------------------------------------------------------
Later, there's a whole lot of Hendrix-like guitar noise.

When you get to the bottom You go back to the top of the slide And you stop and you turn And you go for a ride Till you get to the bottom Then you see me again
Do you, don't you want me to love you? I'm coming down fast, but I'm miles above you Tell me, tell me, tell me the answer You may be a lover but you ain't no dancer
Helter skelter Helter skelter Helter skelter
Do you, don't you want me to make you? Coming down fast I don't want me to break you Tell me , tell me, tell me the answer You may be a lover but you ain't no dancer
Helter skelter Helter skelter Helter skelter
When you get to the bottom you go back to the top of the slide Where you stop and you turn And you go for a ride Till you get to the bottom And I see you again
Do you, don't you want me to love you ? Coming down fast I'm right above you Tell me , tell me, tell me the answer You may be a lover but you ain't no dancer
Helter skelter Helter skelter Helter skelter
