NB:
The "Do Not Adjust Your Set" and "The Peel
Sessions" versions of this song are basically
the same as this, with some very minor lyrics
differences (and ending, as mentioned later).
*The F# (And D#) chords indicated by '*' are
just brief linking chords, and strictly don't
have to be played.
**In the Do Not Adjust Your Set" version, the
key change into Eb (or C, if using the capo
chords), indicated by '**', DOESN'T occur.
Ignore this section of the chords, and instead
play as follows:
spoken part: C
(with capo):(A)
[electric spoon solo]:
C Am F G....[repeat]---> C7
(capo): (A)(F#m)(D)(E)...[repeat]---> A7
***"nc" indicates no chord is to be played.
****Capo chords have really only been included
here if you want to make the Eb section easier.
