"Key West Intermezzo (I Saw You First)"
 By John Mellencamp
 Transcribed by Matt McClain
 (Divine Inspiration by Tiffany Waggoner)

 This song is played in "G" but you tune down 1/2 step, so it is really in Gb.
 I guess John thinks he's in Alice In Chains or something.
 I have typed this in by memory, so this may not be 100% accurate,
 but it is fun to play.
 I like to slow this song down and play it on my friend's 12 string.
 Enjoy.

 [Alternate between G+G and D MajorD chords]

 [Main Riff] (in GbGb major scale- very easy to pick up)

 Eb:-7----10-7---  Then you can play anything in the GbGb
 Bb:---10------8-   major scale to connect this riff
 Gb:-------------   when it repeats at various intervals
 Db:-------------    in the song.
 Ab--------------

 This posting is for Tiffany. I love her very very very very much.
 She is the reason that I write and play music.
 I welcome any corrections and additions.
 Please E-mail me the correct lyrics if you got 'em.
