Intro;
Played with a bottle of Bud.
Also works with a bottle of Miller.
For best results, drink the contents of the bottle before you start,
otherwise the weight of the bottle might make it more difficult to play
(well, that's my excuse, and I'm sticking to it).
This will also allow the bottle to come up to room temperature and thus
reduce the risk of getting condensation all over your guitar:-)

Stuart's slide guitar during chorus is very difficult to make out given all
the other things going on at the same time but it sounds something like this
(this part is not played in the live versions of the song);
