Others, they seem so very nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, oh oh,

Oh, men don't notice what they got,
                       G        D
Women think of that a lot,
                                C7      C
One thousand ways to please your man, oh oh,
                         G       D
Not even one requires a plan, I know.
                            C7       C
And countless odd religions too,
                             G       D
It doesn't matter which you choose, oh no,
                              C7        C
One stubborn way to turn your back, oh oh,
                        G      D
This I've tried and I refuse, oh oh,

Don't don't don't get up!

A   C   D

            G        D       C
ch-ch-ch-ch I can't see the sunshine,
       A       C       D
Woah, I'll be waiting for you baby,
 G          D             C
                 'cos I'm through.
         A       C       D
Sit me down,
         G       D       C
Shut me up,
            A      C       D
I'll calm down,
      G         D         C
And I'll get along with you.




For the outro i usually do the same rhythm with the tab:

  e||--5-5-5-5-5--3--3--3-3--3---5-5-5-5-5--2--2--2-2--2--|
  B||--5-5-5-5-5--5--5--5-5--5---3-3-3-3-3--3--3--3-3--3--|
  G||--5-5-5-5-5--5--5--5-5--5---4-4-4-4-4--2--2--2-2--2--|
  D||-----------------------------------------------------|
  A||-----------------------------------------------------|
  E||-----------------------------------------------------|

Which I think is what he plays in the verse of the regular version of the song.
