Yet, the guitar is playing only 'power-chords' (ie, no 3rds). So, the guitar is not responsible for the tonal 'colour' here. Just slide from C to D (power-chords) across the end/start of each bar. This same process is happening throughout the 'E(no 3rd)' sections towards the end. If you like, slide from D to E (power-chords) in the same way. Collector of tabs for The Who...
