This works well for an Acoustic version, Squire also uses this - or something
along these lines! - (except the Intro which comes from the 12” version) in the
Blackpool Live version where he switches between playing this with a clean sound
and playing the chords with a load of wah wah on, hope you get the jist of it!
It’s played with a Capo on the 1st Fret on the record but its not essential.

This is the 12" version of Elephant Stone.
The song has a very interesting structure,
you have to listen to it to figure ou,.
it's not very hard to get though.
Extra chords are G,D,& C & they are only
used in the 7" version, but they'll work
fine in this one.

Standard tuning: EADGBe
