Notes: Arranged by NRBQ with contrasting chords for electric clavinet. To
reconcile for solo guitar, add D chord at last beat of verse, and instead
of Cadd13 to C in the chorus, try C6add9 (8x7755) to Cadd13 (875555). A
simplified arrangement for solo guitar accompaniment in the 1st octave
would be: Verse- , , , (xx0210), , , , to (on last
beat), Chorus- C6add9 (x3x230), C, etc.
