NOTES:
— Chords in Intro should be damped with heel of hand. when verse starts,
Go ahead and let them sustain.
— The lead-in to the second verse is also used during the rideout section
When Neil’s not soloing (starting with «When you took me to your room …»).

When you took me to your room

I swear I said surrender

When you opened up your mouth

I saw the words fall out

There is pain in my heart
