HENCE THAT THE TONE 'H' = 'B' IN U.S. AND OTHER COUNTRIES THAT DOESN'T USE
'H'!!

To play the rhythm guitar to make it sound like
Rick plays it, I would prefer to tune the guitar like this:

(From the thickest string to the thinnest)
G-G-D-G-H(B)-D and put a capo on the 2nd fret. The number
I set for frets will be 0=2, 1=3, 2=4 etc... This means
that a 0 will be an open string play with the capo on the
2nd fret, 1 will be the 3rd fret if you didn't have the capo etc...

I'll show you here:

7. 6. 5. 4. 3. 2. 1. <= fret no. WITHOUT capo on
-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|--#--|-----| G <- THICKEST string!!
-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|--#--|-----| G
-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|--#--|-----| D
-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|--#--|-----| G
-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|--#--|-----| H(B)
-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|--#--|-----| D <- THINNEST string!!
6. 5. 4. 3. 2. 1. (capo <= fret no. WITH capo on
here) (these numbers are in
these tabs!)

Intro:
Rick's live guitar opening: REMEMBER CAPO ON THE 2ND FRET!
NB! Have you retuned your guitar like mentioned above??

The Mystery Song
( Parfitt - Young )

I see that look on your face
I see that look on your face
I see that look on your face

A
The boys know what you´re giving

You give the boys such a lot of fun

And by the way that you make a living

You´ve got the boys all on the run
D
S.T´s showing, you really got me going

Maybe you can give me a price
A
I wanna try it, yeh I wanna buy it

Tell me would you treat me nice
Em
Oh my legs are shaking
G
Oh my heart is breaking
D A
I´m just feeling like a boy
Em
Now I just can´t slow down
G
Gotta get in go down
D A
Have my share of pride and joy

A-A-D-D-A-A-D-D-C-C-D-D-A

A
Now I´ve got your name and number

I like to look upon your face

And now you know that I wanna take you

Give me the time you can name the place
D
Call me honey, you can take my money

Maybe we can make a deal
A
I really mean it, gotta get between it

Do you know the way I feel
Em
Oh I´m feeling kinda
G
Like I´ve gotta find
D A
A way to make you understand
Em
Oh I know you´re lying
G
And your love I´m buying

They´ll wanna try it, even wanna buy it

If you really treat them nice
