<Play Section A>
<Repeat 1st verse>
<turnaround>
<Repeat 1st verse - but repeat the A and B chords so the progression is thus>

E E E E A B A B A _
^ ^ Stop playing
| Turnaround would occur here

Gary repeats the lyrics "I just want, to be you lovin'" over A B chords
before he finishes "To be your lovin' man" which would be over the B chord
if the band had continued playing. Finalally he finishes with a lick in E
around the 12th fret.



NOTE: I've kind of rushed this tab towards the end, so as I could submit it
to the archive before I take up my placement and won't have internet
access for 11 months. Anyroad I think there is enough tab to play
with but please feel free to finish, add ,correct or re-arrange this
file. As always listening the recorded version will help you to learn
the song. Good luck.
