POP SONG 89
{intro:  A augmentedA A augmentedA D MajorD D A augmentedA A majorA D MajorD D D MajorD  x 3}
{ The opening lick is straight off an A augmentedA blues scale. I don't have my
 guitar here to transcribe it. It doesn't sound good by itself anyway.
 Whistling is a great substitue when you have to play alone. Ha! Ha!
 no not the skin flute!}

{break:   BB / / / BB / / / E MajorE / / / E7E7 / / /
      BB / / / BB / / / E MajorE / / / D/Dsus4
 the melody on the break isn't too hard to pick out. The notes
 are real close to the chords - often in them. I think its weird
 that Pete didn't play them on the acoustic version.}
