I tried to get the spacing as close to the book as possible. If I

could not fit the whole figure across the width of the page, I

continued it on the next line indented.

Key:

h = hammer

BF = bend full

BFR = bend full and release

BH = bend half

P.M. = palm mute

/\/\/ = vibrato

% = repeat previous

O.K.

So the song goes like this:

(Rhy. Fig. 1) x 2

(Chorus w/Rhy. Fig. 1) x 2

Take me down to the paradise city,

where the grass is green and the girls are pretty.

Oh won't you please take me home.

(Rhy. Fig. 2) x 2

[(Riff B then Riff B-1) w/Rhy. Fig. 2]

[(Riff B then Riff B-2) w/Rhy. Fig. 2]

(Riff C)

(Verse 1 w/Rhy. Fig. 3)

Just an urchin livin' under the street.

I'm a ... hard case that's tough to beat.

I'm your charity case, so buy me something to eat.

I'll pay you at another time.

(Riff C)

(Verse 2 w/Rhy. Fig. 3)

(Chorus w/Rhy. Fig. 1) x 2

(Solo) not included

Then comes this....

|------10-----------10-------10-----------10------8------|

|--------------------------------------------------------|

|10h11----12--10h11----10h11----12--10h11----8h9---------|

|--------------------------------------------------------|

So far a - way.

After which slide each note on the G string (3rd from the bottom)

down two frets (i.e. 10--8h9----8h9) for a while and then move it

back up two frets and so on.

I think that is about it. I am not going to get into the really fast

part at the end. It's about 4 1/2 pages long and will take more time

then I have available.

If I messed something up email me directly so I can fix it and re-send

it.

If you want the solo or the fast part it would probably make more sense

just to go out and buy the book then to ask for it.
