Instrumental

Play the intro riff again. There's a harmonic pumping out behind it
this time. This can be found by lightly touching the 3rd (G) string
directly above the 5th fret — don't press down, but play the string
and it should ring. It may need a bit of distortion to bring it out.

Then the guitar solo starts. I think it's played with a slide, but
if you don't have one or an empty pint—glass to hand, it sounds
alright by just fretting the notes with your fingers and add plenty
of vibrato.

Over the last 3 bars of the solo a louder, more prominent overdub
is played. It goes a little something like this:

Verse 3

A                  Dsus2/A	   A            Dsus2/A
What do you care about? She says, 'this and that,'
	  A            Dsus2/A		    A
What do I mean to you? I'll show you if you want the truth.
F#m		E			   D
I threw it all away, I don't know where I put it,
D			C5
But I miss it just the same.  (Repeat Fill Ad Lib)

Bridge
    Bm
How many eyes must a young girl have?
          E
I know she makes you cry, I know she makes you laugh,
       F#
I'd be good to you, if I could I'd make you happy,
G
If I had a son I'd be good to my Daddy,
    Bm
Who loves you but I bet it's not the same
   E     G
as your, North Country Boy.

Outro

A weird chord starts playing, I think it's C#7b5 but you play it
like this:

E|——7——|	This is played a few times with that
B|——8——|	Fret five harmonic repeating.
G|——6——|	Finally the original intro riff comes
D|—————|	back in, plus ad lib vocals and
A|—————|	the song fades out.
E|—————|
