Tabbed by Des McKinney

---------------------------------------------------
There're only two main lead guitar parts that ya need:


RIFF1: (This is the main riff played throughout the 
        song: After 1st verse, w/2nd verse, after
	1st chorus, w/3rd verse)

  E                        D

E:------------|-----|------------|---------|




RIFF2: (The lead guitar plays this in the first part of
        each chorus, the "Give your ID card...." part. 
        But it won't sound good unless you have two 
        guitars going .. If yer playing by yourself, 
        just play the chords listed with the lyrics below.
        That is, leave out the maj7 chords)

CHORD CHART:
I play the verses for this song using the chords in 
standard position (that'd be the first version of
each chord shown), and the choruses using bar chords
(makes the change to the C#m easier, and better 
sounding).

   E or E   D   A or A    B or B   G#   C#m or C#m
e:-0----7---2---0----5----2----7----4----4------0--|
B:-0----9---3---2----5----4----7----4----5------2--|
G:-1----9---2---2----6----4----8----5----6------1--|
D:-2----9---0---2----7----4----9----6----6------2--|
A:-2----7--(0)--0----7----2----9----6----4---------|
E:-0---(7)-----------5---(2)---7----4---(4)--------|
