Someone requested tab for this one - It's all based on pretty simple chords, 
so I'm just going to give the chord shapes for most of it.

My memory's failed me on the words , so I'll type some to give an idea of
how chords and words match up

C  Cdim  D


Then back to another verse

Just after the riff above, before the last verse (I think) there's
a bit more instrumental stuff with saxes.

The chords for this are:

G         Am   Bm   Em    D7   Am   Bm   Em    D    D7     G
