The song is pretty damn simple. I don't think I'm entirely accurate, but it sounds
accurate enough to play along with and have fun.
It starts out a bit hypnotic, echoing "city of love, city of love.." over and over. W/ base.
Hey!...

For the rest of the solo, you're on your own bro. I'm an amateur myself, and I can't
decode that crap for the life of me xD. But during the solo it's the regular, simple riff
if you just want to pick that back up on the solo part.
That's about it though. You repeat this process over and over. Listen to the song for
reference on where to do these parts and what the tempo is.
