POP SONG 89
{intro: A A D D A A D D D x 3}
{ The opening lick is straight off an A blues scale. I don't have my
guitar here to transcribe it. It doesn't sound good by itself anyway.
Whistling is a great substitue when you have to play alone. Ha! Ha!
no not the skin flute!}

{break: B / / / B / / / E / / / E7 / / /
B / / / B / / / E / / / D/Dsus4
the melody on the break isn't too hard to pick out. The notes
are real close to the chords - often in them. I think its weird
that Pete didn't play them on the acoustic version.}
