This progression gets repeated throughout the song/monologue;
the only exception is the "impending doom" sound effect (I for-
get where in the song this occurs) produced by strumming the
following chords in sequence:

	     Ebo7       F#o7       Ao7       Co7

	 E |---2----------5---------8--------11--|
	 B |---1----------4---------7--------10--|
	 G |---2----------5---------8--------11--|
	 D |---1----------4---------7--------10--|
	 A |-------------------------------------|
	 E |-------------------------------------|

and the ending strums, which are C C F F C G C chords in usual
positions.


Here is the main vamp, with lyrics shown as they are sung in the
chorus.  The rest of the lyrics foolow the tablature.
