       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.
