(Loud slide played at the beginning of the song)

At the start of the song, play the slide and then Fig. 1 twice.
Then start Verse 1:

E5 / / //
Quittin' after one more last ....
E5 / / //
If I want your opinion I'll ...
E5 / G5 E5 A5 / G5 D5 A5 G5 E5
Night driving without headlights....
E5 / G5 E5 A5 / G5 D5 A5 G5
Looking good, but sure don't .....

After the final G5 power cord of the verse, slide down to the low
E on the sixth string and start Fig. 1 again, playing it twice and
then continuing on with the second verse: (same chords as first)

Doin' hopscotch with my legs tied, ....

The only change is that a new twist is added during the phrase
'all you mother's money spent' it goes something like this:

E-|---------------------------|
B-|---------------------------|
G-|---------------------------|
D-|----7b9--5--------2--------|
A-|------------7-----2--------|
E-|---------------5--0--------|

After this verse, go back into Fig. 1 with the following lyrics,
and midway through switch to the chords:

A burning heart ....
A Asus4 A
Won't you be my ...
G G C5 A5 G5
Come on I'm an .....

And slide down again into this break:

E-|-----------------------------|---------------------------------|
B-|-----------------------------|---------------------------------|
G-|--------------------------2--|--7-7h9--------------------------|
D-|--------------------------2--|--------10h11-10h11-10h11vvvvvv--|
A-|---------7-5--4-----------0--|---------------------------------|
E-|-0-0-0-0--------7--5-0-------|---------------------------------|
Improvise over this second measure
six times before going on, with
another guitar improvising over
the next figure:

E-|----------------------|
B-|----------------------|
G-|----------------------|
D-|-2-2--------2-2-------|
A-|-0-0--------0-0-------|
E-|-----0-3-4------0-3-4-|


After this, we go back to a structure much like verse 1:

E5 / / //
Holdin' on to what's left ....
E5 / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / /
Anything to ...
E5 / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / /
Anything to ...
E5 / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / /
Anything to ....

Then slide back down into Fig. 1 as before:

A burning heart Like an ...
A Asus4 A
Won't you be ...
G Gsus4 G C5 A5 G5
Come on I'm an ...
A Asus4 A G Gsus4
I'm a midspring snow - ...
G C5 A5 G
I'm an April .....

And then repeat Fig. 1 six times over the remaining lyrics:

I'm______________ an April fool for you.....

And finish strong on an E5 power chord.
