Apparently Lindsay Buckingham played it in drop-D tuning. It's infinitely easier though played with A dropped to G and bottom E dropped to C - I got this from a guitar mag about 3 years back, although the name of the mag escapes me. Anyway, play it in C - you just need first two fingers of C chord (hammering on) for the main riff, and for the high bit (second half of verse) bar the D to E strings at fret 5. Mess around with that, listen to the CD and it'll all come together.

Be warned that it's surprisingly difficult to sing. Not only is the guitar part tricky (so it's hard to sing and play at the same time), but the vocal covers a fair range, and it jumps up there instead of moving up there in stages.

Oh, and it sounds much better on the CD bcos Lindsay Buckingham has double-tracked it and harmonises with himself occasionally. Short of playing it on a 12-string, that's not going to happen for us, unless you've got a friend who can play it with you. ;-)

Graham.

PS. Yes, it's a cracking song.
