" You always like it undercover, ducked down between your dirty sheets,"
Here i dont know what it says but this is where the change comes in.
Back to the intro riff. But let the chords ring out first time through except the E.

from here it just goes back to the verse riff.
Still dont know what they're saying. just listen to it though, it's very easy.
It just keeps using those two riffs untill there is a lead over the intro riff, then there is no guitar.
It comes back in like this,
"hey hey your giving all your silly love? away" B A
e:-----------------------------------------------7-7-7-7-7-7--5-5-5-5-5-5---|
B:-----------------------------------------------9-9-9-9-9-9--7-7-7-7-7-7---|
G:-----------------------------------------------9-9-9-9-9-9--7-7-7-7-7-7---|
D:-----------------------------------------------8-8-8-8-8-8--6-6-6-6-6-6---|
A:-----------------------------------------------7-7-7-7-7-7--5-5-5-5-5-5---|
E:-----------------------------------------------7-7-7-7-7-7--5-5-5-5-5-5---|
Then into intro riff.

Play this through a heap of times unitll the end where the E rings out and that's it.
Just listen to the song, it's very easy.
Have fun with it, and tell all the friends about the "Kings", they are awesome!
