bass part is way off G----------------------------------------- D---0-2----22-0---0-2-----0--------------- A-2-------------2-------2---3--3-3-2-0---- E--------------------------------------3--

The guitar lick between the verses is played by scott gorham and he is using double stops on the high e and b string (i have seen this on a Thin Lizzy video) Also if you want it exactly like the original play the opening phrase starting on the seventh fret on the low E string.. Also in the solo after the octave phrase you start with a bend on the 14 fret on the g-string and then play the double stop on the b-and hiogh e-string on the 12 fret
