Written by: T.P. & Mike Campbebell/Album: "Damn The Torpedoes"–MCA (1979) The main progression for the INTRO and VERSE of the song goes like this–– Use a 1st finger barre at 2nd fret, move (not slide) it up to 4th fret. When you play it with the song, you'll get the feel of it: A B/A Amaj7 B/A E-------------------|--------------|-------------------|------------------- B-2-----------------|-4-----4--5--7|-5-----------------|-4----------------- G-2-----------------|-4-----4------|-6-----------------|-4----------------- D-2-----------------|-4-----4------|-7-----------------|-4----------------- A-0--0--0-0-0--0-0-0|-0--0--0------|-0--0--0-0-0--0-0-0|-0--0--0-0-0--0-0-0 E-------------------|--------------|-------------------|-------------------
VERSE 1: A You know, sometimes, I ... B/A Amaj7 B/A But this whole ... A B/A I ain't really sure but it seems I ... Amaj7 B/A Were just a little bit ... A B/A But when she puts her ...

F#m B (normal B chord) Yeah and she looks so right ... VERSE 2:Every now and then I get down to the.... CHORUS and then BREAK (see bottom) VERSE 3:Yeah every time it seems there ain't nothin' ..... CHORUS then END (the ending is just the first and last measures of the VERSE: A to B/A) BREAK: This break repeats three times, and the fourth time just continues the same vamp on the E and A strings, to VERSE 3. F#5 The numbers E-------------------------------------0-| o on this B------------------------0^2^0--------2-| F#5: | | | | | | chord diagram G-------------------------------3-----3-| T | | | 1 | (and E9 below) D----------------------------------4--4-| | | | 2 | | represent the A-4--4--4-4-4-4-4--4--4---------------4-| | 3 4 | | | finger used.

Also, the E in the CHORUS can be played with an E9 in the middle: E E9 E o o | | Use the E9: | | | 1 | | | / / / / / / | "down/down/up/up/down/up" | 2 3 | | 4 | | strum. | | | | | | 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + ENJOY!
