A somewhat simplified version, but play the D and G of the verse with a bluesy-type groove and mute the high E string in the D chord so that you can use that finger to give a pull on the D string which will simulate the second guitar surprisingly well. The same is true of the G chord, but bend the G string with your third finger. Have fun--it's an incredible song and amazingly easy to play. D D Somebody took the papers, and somebody's got the key D And somebody's nailed the door shut D Says hey whatch'you think that you see? G But me, I'm down around the corner G you know I'm looking for Miss Linda Lee D Because she's got the power, to love me by the hour D Gives me W-L-O-V-E Bm Hey Baby, you want it so fast G Don't you know that it ain't gonna last? Bm G Of course, you know it makes no difference to me Somebody's got the time-time(?), somebody's got the right all of you other people, trying to use up the night But me, I'm out on the corner--y'know I'm looking for... Hey, if you want it so fast, don't you know honey you can't get it so fast Of course, you know it makes no difference to me D A Woh-oh you better--cool it down Bb D You know you better--cool it down D A You know you better--cool it down Bb D You know you better c-o-o-o-ol it down, you'd better cool it down --piano solo--(same as verse) Hey, if you want it so fast Better lookey-look baby don't you--want it to last? But of course you know that, hey it makes no difference to me-----woh-oh you better, cool it down...(end on D) --greg nelson ---------------------- gregory nelson u03gmn@abdn.ac.uk
