Follow picking pattern of first two bars of intro for the lines of the verse with the Em and G progression. Then onthe Am and G lines, use the intro kick with the Am 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) Em G Oooh, .. Em G there .. Am F G and I .. Em G Across .. Em G A life .. Am Bm with ..: (Chorus) G F Please .. C G just .. G F I'm .. C G just ... G F C G Fear .. G F 'Cause .. C G than a .. (Verse 2) Em G Oooh, .. Em G On .. Am F G that .. Em G With .. Em G My .. Am Bm with ..: (Chorus) (Accordion solo) (Chorus 2x) There it is. I think I've got the order right, but I may be wrong. I took the lyrics straight from the CD booklet (though I took the liberty of adding in the "Oooh"'s for extra effect).
