1 You fiend, you friend, you confidant You hold me against my will
2 This wire, this mane, this coronet You hold me against my will

It's you, it's you, come and see you're ridding me of my plan
Once you've learnt the verse and chorus riffs you'll get to the tricky part :
going from one fingerpicking pattern to another in the Bridge riff. Instead of
droning with the B string, use the E string in the Bridge riff.
