Written by John from Goldfinger
Transcribed by Luke Knox (lukeknox@iname.com)

This is my version of a great song by a cool band, Goldfinger. I'm pretty
sure about most of it, but let me know if you have any suggestions,
changes, etc.

Intro: (played in the order given and with ska upstrokes)
D A Em Bm Em F#m Em

E--5----5----7----2----7----9----7---*12-12-9-9-10-10-9-
B--7----5----8----3----8---10----8----------------------
G--7----6----9----4----9---11----9----------------------
D--7----7----9----4----9---11----9----------------------
A-------------------------------------------------------
E-------------------------------------------------------
(*Play this 1st time only. After this, play A in place of riff)
The second time this is played, I believe a second guitar comes in with
the bass playing these barre chords, and it gets louder as the
progression goes on:

E-------------------------------------
B-------------------------------------
G--7-------9---4---9---11---12--------
D--7---7---9---4---9---11---12---7----
A--5---7---7---2---7----9---10---7----
E------5-------------------------5----
D A E B E F# G A

(Play this while 1st guitar keeps playing the ska progression)

D A E B E
So here I am...
F# G A

(This part uses barre chords:)
