I surrendee -- ee -- eer. Instrumental:(repeat as you wish) |:Gm |Cm |F |Bb |Eb |D :| -- TIPS AND REMARKS -- On some notations the chords during the opening riff are marked for example: |Gm Eb/G|Cm/G |x2 As I recall that might be the way it was written on the publised song book, but I don't hear Rainbow playing it that way. What you hear on the opening riff is basically this: e|----------------|----------------|----------------|15--------------| B|8-----11--------|13--------------|8-----11--------|----------------| G|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| D|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| A|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| E|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| For a more advanced technique you can try this. The bend should actually be more like a "prebend". The two strings should really ring in unison. In the studio recording this was probably done in multiple takes, but Richie also plays this live on some recordings. e|----------------|----------------|----------------|15--------------| B|8-----11--------|13--------------|8-----11--------|18b20-----------| G|10b12-12b14-----|15b17-----------|10b12-12b14-----|----------------| D|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| A|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| E|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| The "Cm/A" is played as open chord arpeggio. The first time the latter half sounds like a triplet to me: [ - 3 - ] e|--------3-------| B|------4----4----| G|----5---------5-| D|--5-------------| A|0---------------| E|----------------| ...and the second time regular 1/8's: e|--------3-------| B|------4---4-----| G|----5-------5---| D|--5-----------5-| A|0---------------| E|----------------|
