The rapid strumming parts can be fairly improvised. The chords in the first 6 bars are strummed at a speed so that you can almost hear each individual note. A slide is indicated by a `/' for up and `\' for down. A period after a note value means dotted. The chord parts are best played with your index finger on the B string, middle on the G string (using pinky for pull-offs), and ring finger on the D string, with the thumb wrapping around and playing the low E string. Sounds hard, but gets easier with practice.   [intro] Bm/F# Bmsus4/F# F#7sus4 e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e |-2---------------|-0---------------|-0---------------| |-3---------------|-3---------------|-2---------------| |-4---------------|-4---------------|-4---------------| |-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-|-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-|-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-| |-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| |-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|   F#7 F#m7 Em/F# e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e |-0-------------------|-0---------------|-0---------------| |-2-------------------|-2---------------|-0---------------| |-3-------------------|-2---------------|-0---------------| |-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-----|-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-|-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-| |---------------------|-----------------|-----------------| |---------------------|-----------------|-----------------|   Em/G F#sus4 F# e e e e e e e e e s s e s e s e e e e s s e s e s e q |-----------------|---------------------|-------------------| |-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-|-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2---| |-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-|-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-|-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3---| |-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-|-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-|-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-0-| |-----------------|---------------------|-------------------| |-----------------|T2-------------------|-2-----------------|   Bsus4 B e s s e s e s e e s s e s s e s e s e e s s x2 ||-----------------------|-----------------------|| ||-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-|| ||-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-|-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-|| ||-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-|-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-|| ||-----------------------|-----------------------|| ||T7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-||   Bsus4 B e s s e s e s e e s s e s s e s e s e e s s x2 ||-----------------------|-----------------------|| ||-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-|| ||-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-|-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-|| ||-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-|-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-|| ||-----------------------|-----------------------|| ||-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-|| ||Electric guitar | || ||-----------------------|-----------------------|| ||-----------------------|-----------------------|| ||-----------------------|-----------------------|| ||-7/9-------------------|-----------------------|| ||-----------------------|-----------------------|| ||-5/7-------------------|-----------------------|| (elec. gtr: play so that second notes sound on first beat of bar)     "Ever since I was a young boy I've played the silver ball. e s s e s e s e e s s e s s e s e s e e s s |----------------------------|-------------------------| |---7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7------|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7---| |-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9------|-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8---| |-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9------|-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9---| |----------------------------|-------------------------| |-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7------|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7---| |Electric | | |----------------------------|-------------------------| |----------------------------|-------------------------| |----------------------------|-------------------------| |-7/9------------------------|-------------------------| |----------------------------|-------------------------| |-5/7------------------------|-------------------------|     "From Soho down to Brighton I must have played them all.
