I'm Straight

This song has pretty much the same structure throughout, like this:

   E                 E               C              G  (F#)     E

e--0---------------|-0-------------|-0-------------|------------0----|
B--0---------------|-0-------------|-1-------------|------------0----|
G--1---------------|-1-------------|-0-------------|------------1----|
D--2---------------|-2-------------|-2-------------|------------2----|
A--2---------------|-2-------------|-3-------------|-2----------2----|
E--0---------------|-0-------------|-X-------------|-3---2--0---0----|

Basically an E C G E pattern with a little bass run between the G and
the E. Repeat this pattern for the entire song, except where there are
single chords, as in the beginning. N.C. means "no chord."

      C                                G F# E

         C                             G F# E

(and so on . . . . . .)

So this phone call today ...
