Fade-out on verse riff

If you write it out it's in 12/8 time and takes up 5 pages. Fun song. Swing it and mess
with the little riffs every once in a while. If you have an Anthology, it does
so low you would need a low F# string, not the most beautiful thing. If you add a solo, 
do the Chorus for it. This works well to keep it simpler but still interesting. Trust me,
4-6 bars of an E solo, it loses it't integrity.Live on Dead (if that's even possible).
