Intro:

For the intro Dave Pirner pounds out an A chord.  Then Dave 
repeats the intro riff while Dan Murphy (Gtr.2) strums the A 
chord once and lets it sustain through Dave's little stop-time 
riff.  It looks like this:

Gtr.1 (Intro Riff)
E--------------------------
B--x--2---2-2---2--2--2-2--
G--x--2---2-2---2--2--2-2-- repeat
D--x--2---2-2---2--2--2-2--

Gtr. 2(played right before Dave repeats intro riff)

Chorus: D E A

Verse II

Bridge:  D E A

Back to Chorus


Play Intro riff, then:

With Intro riff:

"In time inside you find you always wind up with a 
bitterweetheart..."

Then play Chorus riffs and Outro riff.  Repeat and Fade.

Also during the Outro, while Dan Murphy is playing the solo 
stuff, 

Dave Pirner, while playing his A and D chords, plays a D like 
this: D-007777-

The rest of the chord forms are first position for Dave 
Pirner(Gtr.1) and power chords for Dan Murphy.  

Well, that¹s it!!  Send me any comments!!
