     Cars and trucks,   drive by me on the corner

     Bikes and vans,  drive right by me on the desert

        Run through me
        D5        A5       B5                   F#5
        Days and nights, weeks and months and seasons

10.   Intro (4 times)

11.   Main Riff  (8 times, last 4 with lyrics)

        I need you,  to let me know if there's a heartbeat
        let it pound and pound,  and I'll be flyin like a freebird
        you need me,  like ugly needs a mirror
        and day by day,  i guess our eyes are getting clearer

12.   End with the intro (try E and G power chords up on 7 and 10)

There are bits of lead throughout the song but i'll leave that to you
since I don't play them.  Just make sure there's plenty of distortion
on all guitars.  Neil would want it that way.
