    1,000,000
    =========


    As far as "1,000,000" is concerned, I haven't really had time
    to work out all the chords, but the main one which Buck plays
    over the verses is, I think, something like this:

    E--0--     E--0     It's some kind of mutant
    B--0--     B--0 (4?)   "open" B chord. Also, you
    G--9--   or  G--4     can remove the Barring finger
    D--9--     D--4     alternately to get the bass
    A--9--     A--2     note in there. Heavy on style
    E--7--     E--2     of course.

    I'm not sure of these because I'm going from memory and my
    guitar is at home. Screw around with it and see what happens.
