I grew up listening to the Kinks and this has always
been one of my favorite tracks of theirs. Dave Davies 
is the unsung hero of this one with the catchy major 
scale lead and caterwauling harmony during the final 
verse. I tabbed this out by ear on my own so please 
forgive any mistakes. Enjoy!

(Same chords as verse)

It's all because of that music that we're slowly drifting apart
But it's only there to dance to, so ya shouldn't take it to heart.
Music, only juke box music. Only music, only juke box music.

(Use Main Riff for Outro)

And that's it! Hope you enjoy.
