Intro-

Dave plays different rhythms during this song, and they are more complex when
he is not singing.  The general rhythm is to play the A, D, and G strings
once, then on the upstroke, play the G and D strings for each chord.  I will
just write out the tab for the chord, not the rhythm.  Listen to any version,
and you'll pick up some cool things to do with it.  The intro is repeated at
the end as well.

Leading into the chorus ("everybody asks me how she's doing..."), the chord
hangs on the C so the transition the the F chord is smooth.


Chorus #1-




    F5     Bb5    C5           F5    Bb5  A5 Bb5  A5

Chorus #2-

The 2nd & 3rd choruses in the song are slightly different than the 1st one.

Repeat the first chorus up to, but not including, the second F5.
Then it goes...

    F5     Bb5    C5     F5    Bb5  A5 Bb5  A5
