Written by Sonny Bono and released by Cher,his wife at the time, in 1966. There are no 
chords in the bridge
so I have 'improvised', I play 4 power chord stabs on the 4 drum beats before each 
phrase which sounds
ok(ish)
I think the rest is fine but any suggestions, corrections or comments will be more than 
welcome. Please rate
