Leaving It Up To You

Pierre-Julien Grizel's notes on the live versions

For the "leaving it, leaving it" part, just play it like this (sorry, don't know the chords names...)

002220 (usual A)
004440 (Hum... maybe 005550, don't have a guitar here)
007770 (Or something like that)

So you just have to keep the same pattern as for the A chord, but move your fingers along the neck.

For the intro riff (just before the F#m), you can play it like this:

577655 (A)
466544 (?)
355433 (? as well)
244222 (F#m)

This is the way John plays it live.
