These two progressions are alternated in irregular fashion until you get
to "If bein' afraid is a crime...", where you play:
E C Am Cmaj7 Am
If bein' afraid is a crime we'd hang side by side

The little interlude in the middle of the song goes something like this:

G----------------------2--0----|---------------------
D--0-s-2--2------------------0-|--1-s-2--2-----------
A------------------------------|------------2-0-2----

G----------------------2-0-|----------------------2-0-- Back to main
D--0-s-2--2----------------|--0-s-2--2----------------- progression
A--------------------------|---------------------------
E--------------------------|---------------------------
There are other little subtleties, especially at the end, but this is the
basic song. Hope all you 'Mats fans out there like it.
