[A]
E-------------0----------------------------B-----------3---3-2------------------------G---------2---------2-------------2--------D-------2-------------------2---2---2------A-0**-------------------------0-------0----E------------------------------------------As far as I can tell, the verse just follows a simple arpeggio
chord progression (A,C,D,C,B,A,G,F). I don't know the actual
pattern, but you can try just about anything. Here's a simple
example. Let the bass notes ring throughout.
[A]Wanderin down..[C]rocky road
E-----------------------------------B---------2-----------------5-------G-------2---2-------------5---5-----D-----2-------2---------5-------5---A-0**-----------0---3**-----------3-E-----------------------------------[D]Wonderin where my [C]life is [B]leading
E-----------------------------------------B---------7h8p7---------------------------G-------7-------7-----------5----------4--D-----7----------7--------5----------4----A-5**-----------------3**--------2**------E-----------------------------------------[A]Rolling on
[G]to the bitter [F]end
E-----------------------------------------------------1--B---------2-------------------------------------------1--G-------2---2--------------4----------------2---------2--D-----2-------2----------5---5------------3---3-------3--A-0**-----------0------5-------5--------3-------3-----3--E------------------3**-----------3---1**----------1---1--(Actually, that B chord may be a figment of my imagination,
but I like it in there!)
Pre-Chorus
[D]Ooohhhhhh
Oooh
(I want you to stay)
