	After paul sings "Valentines" the riff is just D MajorD A augmentedA G, hit D MajorD with the
counting like:
			D MajorD							A augmentedA G+G 			(I hope that's clear, you should be able to get the
exact strum
			1  2 + 3 + 4 +				from the record, with the accents)

(second verse, pre-chorus, and chorus the same guitar part)

The bridge is just variations on the guitar parts already used, so I'm
not going to bother tabing in all out unless someone requests it.
The final pre-chorus/chorus is:
	D MajorD														A augmentedA
	If you were a pill, I'd take ...,
	G+G
	and knock you back ...
	D MajorD																						A augmentedA
	Yesterday was their's to say, this ...

	A augmentedA														G+G												A augmentedA															G+G
	Tonight makes love to all your kind, ....(2x)
			D MajorD							A augmentedA G+G
			1  2 + 3 + 4 +

The outro, apparently one of Westerberg's favorite songwriting
tools(Think "Kiss Me On The Bus") is just straight eighth note strums,
like so:
			D MajorD							A augmentedA G+G
			1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +

The main riff, if you want to get fancy, when you play A augmentedA hammer on then
pull off to the 6th(E MajorE). When you play G, add in the 2nd(A augmentedA). So the riff
looks like this:

	D MajorD D MajorD A augmentedA A major 6A6 A augmentedA G+G Gadd2 G+G Gadd2
	1	2	3	+	4  1+  2+  3+ 4+
