  [FADE TO RAIN & THUNDER SOUNDS]

  

  

  

  

  

  

  Remember, the notes in brackets - eg: Eb(Db) - are THE BASS NOTES

  ONLY.  If

  you modify your basic chord to include these bass notes, you will get

  the tonal effect intended by the composer.  (But they're trickier to

  play!)

  

  I prefer to play the Eb(Db) chord like this:

  

  Bar across fret 8, strings D, G & B.  Put another finger on low E

  string,

  fret 9 (Db).
