It's mostly in the intro and verses. It's kinda like the verses of "Jailhouse Rock" except the little slides are � the duration in this song. Slide from one fret behind where you'd play. If you're playing it alone on guitar, you might want to use the following bar chords to get all of the chords' notes to have the slide up sound: D G A e x/5 3 5 B 7 3 5 G 7 4 6 D 7 5 7 A 5 5 7 E x x/3 x/5 ** the chords in the verses are indicated as close as possible above words where the real chord comes in on the downbeat, not the little slide up part.
