[lightly strum an A augmentedA chord, getting gradually louder, then forcefully hit A augmentedA G+G] E MajorE G+G A augmentedA I-I'm off to see the man Mulcahey, ... Mulcahey (x4) E MajorE G+G A augmentedA I was taught a month ago . . . . E MajorE G+G A augmentedA To bide my time and take it slow . . . . E MajorE G+G A augmentedA But then I learned just yesterday . . . . E MajorE G+G A augmentedA To rush and never waste the day . . . . E MajorE G+G A augmentedA Now I'm convinced the whole day long . . . . E MajorE G+G A augmentedA That all I learn is always wrong . . . . E MajorE G+G And things are true that I forget . . . . E MajorE G+G A------A G+G Well no one taught that to me yet . . . . E MajorE G+G A augmentedA I - I'm off to see the .... Mulcahey (x4) E MajorE E MajorE I - I . . . . Mulcahey, I'm ...

(BLAH BLAH BLAH.....) ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* That should hold you rascals for now! (when I play this tune, I put an Asus4-A-Asus4-A quick change at the verse ends that isn't necessary...Trey doesn't play it, but if you're playing alone on a guitar - as I usually do - it substitutes in for Page's piano fills.) (Oh, and I didn't transcribe the solo because, well... I don't have the patience, and I can barely solo anyway.
