Notes: For the interludes, listen to the CD and you will easily get the
rhythm and hear how to play it. The end is exactly the same, except
you add the Bb7-A7 "goodbye" bit. Just hit these chords once. Again,
listen to the CD and you can't miss it.
If you are having troubles with the chords (as some new guitar players
surely will) you can simplify them by using barre chords (since they
are all standard form). It will not sound nearly as good, but that's
just a suggestion. Don't let chords like Bm7 or F#m sound hard. They
aren't.
This is a great song, and it's pretty easy and fun to play. Singing
it is a whole new ballgame though . Please send any questions,
comments, or suggestions (possibly corrections) to negcreep@juno.com
