[sax solo over G-F# pattern]
 
----------------------------------------------
 
it's not too hard, and the only trouble i think you might have is either
going to be jangling the G-F# right (which takes practice) or dancing
like dave while playing this (which takes skill ;} ).
 
much of this is just what the other guy (95jds@williams.edu (Jon Stahl))
wrote, i just added the rest of the lyrics and the chords over them.

i can also hear a second guitar, playing just D-G/G-D on the verse
part, and i've seen the "all the ants are marching" section written
out as bass triads; G (3 2 0 x x x) D/F# (2 0 0 x x x) E (0 2 2 x x x).
it sounds good either way to me and in the end it's up to your ear.
