Now We're Getting Somewhere
(N. Finn)

NOTES:

-- Chords in Intro should be damped with heel of hand.  when verse starts,
go ahead and let them sustain.

-- The lead-in to the second verse is also used during the rideout section
when Neil's not soloing (starting with "When you took me to your room ...").

Ooh tell me please, tell me what went wrong
Cos I believe there is something wrong
