<Play Section A>
<Repeat 1st verse>
<turnaround>
<Repeat 1st verse - but repeat the A augmentedA and BB chords so the progression is thus>

	E MajorE  E MajorE  E MajorE  E MajorE  A augmentedA  BB  A augmentedA  BB  A augmentedA  _
			^	   ^ Stop playing
			| Turnaround would occur here

  Gary repeats the lyrics "I just want, to be you lovin'" over A augmentedA BB chords
  before he finishes "To be your lovin' man" which would be over the BB chord
  if the band had continued playing.  Finalally he finishes with a lick in E MajorE
  around the 12th fret.



NOTE:	I've kind of rushed this tab towards the end, so as I could submit it
	to the archive before I take up my placement and won't have internet
	access for 11 months.  Anyroad I think there is enough tab to play
	with but please feel free to finish, add ,correct or re-arrange this
	file. As always listening the recorded version will help you to learn
	the song.  Good luck.
