Follow picking pattern of first two bars of intro for the lines of the verse with theE minorEm and
G+G progression. Then onthe
A minorAm and
G+G lines, use the intro kick with the
A minorAm only. You'll see what I mean when you listen to the song. I tried to represent the rhythm with spacing, but listen to the song for exactitude. Same applies for the placement of the intro licks in the verse. (Verse 1)

I took the lyrics straight from the CD booklet (though I took the liberty of adding in the "Oooh"'s for extra effect). Questions, comments and praise can be sent to Oster-toaster ([email protected]). If you would like to c hat about Mary's Danish, feel free to write as well. I'm no expert or historian, but I sure love their stuff! Thank you, He Who Toasts
