A song on V, the band's fifth album, released in 1991, a more reflective record than their earlier work. Renato Russo's vocal sits over Dado Villa-Lobos's clean, chorused guitar and a steady rhythm section. No source available here confirms the exact guitar and amp on this recording, so a semi-hollow guitar through a Roland JC-120 with chorus and delay stands in. Use the bridge pickup and a bright, clean tone with a touch of chorus.
