Behind the Hammond riff there's a Wah guitar playing some muted
strums with a bit of a funky rhythm.
Verse 1
During the singing the organ plays syncopated (off-beat) stabs
during the C7 and a distorted guitar joins in for Bb, Eb and F
just hitting the chords once then sustaining them. The wah
continues in the background.

chorus. It is heavily flanged (Chorus & Phaser effects).

Verse 2 (As first verse)
The only one I know, never cries, never opens her eyes,
The only one I know, wide awake and then she's away,
The only one I see, is mine as she walks down the street,
The only one I see, has carved her way into me.
Repeat Chorus twice then the F-G, F-G break.
Solo
Starts off with a little bass riff:

A|--3--3-3-3-3-3-3-3--1--|
E|-----------------------|
Repeat this four times, drums enter after two.
This is the guitar solo; it's a pretty distorted sound with a bit of
reverse reverb. It's pretty easy, so keep your playing clean:
