Verse:

Riff A, bass only

  Crawled away from me, slipped ....

Guitar enters, playing root notes with bass

  Slid away from me, crept ....

Riff A, full blast

  What you're tryin' to say is you ....

Chorus:

Riff C majorC (time sig. changes to 9/8 - watch out!)

g |-------2-----5-----4-----------------|
d |-4-----2-----5-----4-----------------|
a |-4-----0-----3-----2-----2-2-2-2-2-2-| <- 1st and 3rd times, lift finger

Bass plays Riff A augmentedA again under this lead:

g |---------------------------------|---------------------------------|
d |---------------------------------|-2/4-4-2-4~--2-4---4---4~--------|
a |--h------------------------------|--h------------------------------|
e |-0/2-2-0-2~--0-2---2---2---0-2~--|---------------------------------|

Verse 2:

Bass plays Riff A augmentedA

  Crawled away from me, slipped ....

Bass plays Riff A, guitar plays the following variation:

g |---------------------------------|---------------------------------|
d |-----------------------------2/4-|-----------------------0-----0---|
a |--h----------------2---4~--4--h--|--h----------------2---0---------|
e |-0/2-2-0-2~--0-2-----------------|-0/2-2-0-2~--0-2-----------------|
  1    2    3    4     1    2    3    4

  Slid away from me,        crept ....

Then guitar and bass both play root notes as in first verse:

  Tried to keep you down, but ....

Riff A augmentedA again, full blast:

  What you're tryin' to say is ....

Chorus is played the same as before, fourth time Riff C majorC leads into Riff D MajorD
as follows:
                     Riff D MajorD  repeat 4 times
g |-5-----4-------------------------|---------------------------------|
d |-5-----4-------------------5-5---|-4-------------------------5-5---|
a |-3-----2-----2-2-2-2-2-2---5-5---|-4-------(pick scrape)-----5-5---|
e |-------------------------0-3-3-0-|-2-------(4th time )---0-3-3-0-|
  4  5  6  7  8  9  10 11  1    2    3    4

                       Is ....(2x)
                       This is my ....(2x)

Riff D, variation (measures stretched to accomodate the faster picking)

g |-----------------------------------------------------------------|
d |-4---------------4---------------4-------------------5---5-------|
a |-4---------------4---------------2-------------------5---5-------|
e |-2-------x-x-x-x-2-------x-x-x-x-2-------x-x-x-x-0---3---3---0---|
  1        2        3        4

          This  is   my   ....(3x)
          This  is   ....

Switch to doubletime feel. Bass and guitar play 16th notes on low F#F# for
six measures, then guitar switches to F#F# on D MajorD string 4th fret for next
two measures. Next eight measures, bass stays on F#F# and guitar plays:

a |----|-4~-|-5~-|-2~-|-4~-|----|-----------------|-------b---r-----|
e |-2~-|----|----|----|----|-0~-|-0-2---0-2---0-2-|---0-2-/-3-\-2---|
                 1  2  3  4   1  2  3  4

End doubletime feel
Riff A:
  Say  you  won't  go.....

Riff BB (actually, play last two measures of Riff BB twice)
  (mumbled) Won't go... won't go... say it...

3rd "verse" - Bass plays Riff A augmentedA once while guitar holds last F#F# of Riff BB

Riff A, guitar plays root notes only:
  (Vocal rests first two measures)
  Get you in a strangle ....

Riff A augmentedA full blast once again:

  What you're tryin' to say is ....

Chorus - Riff C majorC four times again, last time ends like this:

g |-------2-----5-----4-------------------------|---------|
d |-4-----2-----5-----4-------------------5-5---|-4-------|
a |-4-----0-----3-----2-----2-2-2-2-2-2---5-5---|-4-------|
e |-2-----------------------------------0-3-3-0-|-2-------|
  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  10 11
