Play that above two times before Mark start singing "I'm going to San Bernardino..." and on and on :), until "Or my name is

not Kroc" line. Then the other guitar joins with this:

d|--------------------------------------
a|8--p-5--------------------------------
f|-------5----7-------------------------

Then the second verse "The folks line up..."


Along with line "Oughtta be one of these in every town" play this:
d|--------------------------
a|------10h12p10p8---10-----
f|--------------------------
Same as "Wham, bam, you don't wait long, Shake, fries, patty, your gone",
there are few sound before this but I couldn't

figure them out.


Again play "Or my name is not Kroc" part and "Kroc style" fill-in. And here
we go ^__^ - solo 1st! Sorry for no timing, but

I'm too lazy to write it down, it's easy anyway.
