                 Amaj7                        B/A

CHORUS:
                    E      A                  E      A
  Hey here comes my girl        ...
F#m            B (normal B chord)
  Yeah and she looks so right ...

VERSE 2:Every now and then I get down to the....

CHORUS and then BREAK (see bottom)

VERSE 3:Yeah every time it seems there ain't nothin' .....

CHORUS then END
(the ending is just the first and last measures of the VERSE: A to B/A)

BREAK: This break repeats three times, and the fourth time just
       continues the same vamp on the E and A strings, to VERSE 3.

  F#5                                                        The numbers
E-------------------------------------0-|                o     on this
B------------------------0^2^0--------2-| F#5: | | | | | |   chord diagram
G-------------------------------3-----3-|      T | | | 1 |  (and E9 below)
D----------------------------------4--4-|      | | | 2 | |   represent the
A-4--4--4-4-4-4-4--4--4---------------4-|      | 3 4 | | |    finger used.
E-2--2--2-2-2-2-2--2--2---------------2-|                  "T" means
								Thumb.

The '^' means hammer on the first time, and pull off the second time.
When pulling off, sort of flick the B string so it rings clearly.

Also, the E in the CHORUS can be played with an E9 in the middle:

  E     E9    E                                         o       o
|                 |              Use the            E9: | | | 1 | |
| /   / /   / / / |     "down/down/up/up/down/up"       | 2 3 | | 4
|                 |               strum.                | | | | | |
  1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +

                                   ENJOY!
