Basically it's these three chords for nearly the whole song, apart from : Em A7 D A7 D When I was a boy e'thing was right e'thing was right And that's it. As for the instruments : one guitar plays the chords, with a cleanish sound The second electric plays lead parts which sometimes echo the tune, but this guitar also plays the riff that comes after ' making me feel like I've never been born' : E--------------------------------- B------------------------------ G---4b6r4-2--4--0-----0---2--------- D-------------------2---2-------- A------------------------------- E------------------------------- So , with these two guitars you have bass - fairly simple stuff here, a lot of root notes except for the 'when I was a boy' bit, where the bass plays on the 1st 3rd and 5th of the chords. Add drums, and harmony vocals (nearly all singing in 3rds) and you've got it. I just recorded a cover of this on 8-track, and stuck pretty much to the original sound. I double tracked that riff to give it more edge, and added a few more vocals, but it sounded very good. As a point of interest, check out the cymbals on the original. On the bit with the guitar riff (between verses) there seem to be a lot of loud cymbals - a lot louder than the bulk of the song. Maybe they overdubbed extra cymbals here ? It certainly gives it a powerful sound, and on the fade out too there's a lot of cymbals. Great song ! Howard
