only they could write this song!


intro:

play this bit 8 times (it's pretty quick so best to
use alternate strumming)
e--4/5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--|
B--6/7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--|
G--6/7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--|
D--6/7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--|
A--4/5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--|
E----------------------------------------|

then this bit just the once

                              |             |

                              V             V
                      these bits are optional - I don't
                      think they're actually played but
                      it demonstrates the chord
                      progression used

the organ bit over the above is: (call it organ bit Chord diagramA augmentedA)

                                              /     /
                                           don't play
                                           1st time

then play above verse section again, except use this
as organ bit Chord diagramBB (chords above to help)

G---7-----------------|-------------------------|
D---------------------|-------------------------|
                      |<--play this bit twice-->|


then there's this instrumental section. the guitar
chimes away at an Chord diagramA augmentedA chord while an organ does this
twice (this might not be exact but sounds pretty
close)
e-------0---2---0---------------|
B---3-----------------3---------|
G-2---2---2---2---2-0---2-0-2-0-|
D-------------------------------|

then (still instrumental break) the organ plays this
twice while the guitar p;ays the chords above (again
might not be exact)

e---------------0-----|
B-----3-----3-----3-3-|
G---------------------|
D-0-0---0-0---0-------|
A---------------------|

then it's back to familiar territory (ie most of the
above is played again) then there's this guitar solo
(again might not be exact)
e--------------------------------------|
B-----8-------------------8------------|
G-7b9---9b7---7-------7b9---9b7---7~~--|
D-----------9---9-7-9-----------9----9-|
A--------------------------------------|

e----------------------------------------------|

G---------------7h9b11b9-7---7b9---9b7-----7---|
D-----7-9-9-7h9------------9-----------9p7---9-|
A-7h9------------------------------------------|
E----------------------------------------------|

("supercalifragilistic...")
e-------------------------|
B----------------------10-|
G---------------7-9b11----|
D-----7-9-9-7h9-----------|
A-7h9---------------------|
E-------------------------|

e-------------------14----------|
B-10h12p10-12-14b15----14\12----|
G----------------------------14-|
D-------------------------------|

then it's a Chord diagramD MajorD chord a few times, then all that remains
is already tabbed. some bits might not be exact but it
sounds pretty much ok to me, so have lotsa fun
