  [Original note on solo: Unfortunately, Pete plays the solo on either a
  guitar tuned to Eb, or the E string tuned down to Eb (or maybe ALL 
  the guitars tuned down), so if you don't have two guitars you can 
  either 1) play all chords up a 1/2 step or 2) don't pluck the low E 
  string on the solo and play it in Eb.]
  [Second note: stage versions played in standard tuning same as below 
  and begin at bar 5; solo played as below without low Eb]
  
  Eb     xx134x  and xx88 11 x

  Every time she starts to lovin' she brings eyesight to the blind.
  
  You know her daddy gave her magic, I can tell by the way she walks.
  Her daddy gave her magic, I can tell by the way she walks.
  Every time she starts to shakin', the dumb begin to talk.
