During the verses, the riff is the simple |-----------------------------------| |*---------------------------------*| |-----8--8--------------------------| |-----9--9--------7-----7-------7---| |*----9--9----7-9---7-9-----7-9----*| |-----7--7--------------------------| The chorus is B D A E But it's al----right now, B in fact it's a gas....
