This is a great song by one of my all-time favorite bands, Goldfinga!
The song, does, however, have lots of little bits and pieces to play. So,
if you like Goldfinger, I know you'll enjoy it:

G----------------------------------
D----4-5-4-5--------4-5-4-5-7------

The intro riff ends, and lead guitar plays this riff:

Then repeat chorus, playing a barred G-C-G  instead of the
(C)-(D)-G part at the end.

Next: repeat intro 2x, then lead guitar plays this while 2nd guitar plays
a D with palm muting:
E-----------------------------------------------------/10-
B-----------7-8-7-8-------7-8-7-8-9-----7-8-7-------------
G-----(6)-7---------9---7-------------7-------9-7-9-7-----
D-(7)-----------------7-------------7---------------------
A---------------------------------------------------------
E---------------------------------------------------------

Last verse repeats the words from the first verse, except it's played
with barre chords.
Riff: ("yeah just by trying...")
E---------------------
B---------------------
G---------------------
D--4-4-4-4-4-4--2--0--
A---------------------
E---------------------

Whew! That's pretty much all I've got.  It took me a while to figure this
one out, and there may be some other, better ways to play this song. If
you have any questions, comments, changes, or maybe even requests, e-mail
