>From Bryan Killingsworth (akilling@pen.k12.va.us):

'You' off Monster is Dm, Gm for the verse and it holds Am
for awhile and goes to C for the chorus (I think)...with a Dm
riff during the verses (the notes are pretty much in the chord,
hammer-on on the 2nd fret of G string and open D string).

I think someone should have had the decency to tell me the luncheon
was free. To make someone run out with potato salad in his hand,
pretending like he's throwing up, is not what I call hospitality.
