rough”)
Common-sense will tell me not to try and continue, but I’m
[A7(sus4)]After a piece of that diamond in
A7
you, So
[A7(sus4)]Keep an eye open, My
A7

Bm

E(no 3rd) / / / | (repeat to fade)

This INSTRUMENTAL BREAK is dominated by the D MINOR chord
(or Eb minor, if playing a keyboard). Yet, the guitar is playing only
‘power-chords’ (ie, no 3rds). So, the guitar is not responsible for
the
tonal ‘colour’ here. Just slide from C to D (power-chords) across the
end/start of each bar.

This same process is happening throughout the ‘E(no 3rd)’ sections
towards
the end. If you like, slide from D to E (power-chords) in the same
way.
