Chorus

(3 times) and fade

Here's the story of this transcription:

Someone (off list) emailed me for the lyrics so i wrote them out and

At the same time i wrote down a couple of the chords. then john

([email protected]) saw it and made the necessary

Additions and corrections.

For a while we were playing emaj7 instead of e in the first line,

(b) sit by my window and (emaj7) look outside, but the current

Thought is that the e is correct.

John wrote: "in hind sight and sound, emaj7 is wrong and e is right.

Although he's singing a db, the rhythm guitar is clearly playing a

Dave edmund's "monkey beat" e." (i play that e at fret 4 (476454))
