I'd just like to note that I haven't touched Ken's little solo in the verse that's about 
It works of the C position Fmajor scale, and I've just been improvising off that.

Ken's Guitar part in the intro, however, is just an ostinato revolving around the F in 
6th fret of the B string. It's along the lines of...

e-------6-5-8-5-6-5----|
B---6-6----6-------8-6-|
G-/7---7---------------|
D----------------------|
A----------------------|
E----------------------|

These appear to be power chords, so G5, Bb5, F5 if you're going for accuracy

--------------------------------------------
Think Old School Country for Ken's part here. Must be played fairly quickly. He seems to 
a lower sound than what I do, so it's conceivable he'in drop D, but I'm not sure on this.

F/F/Gm/Bb x4

Love gets passed around so freely
They're so touchy and so feely
I'm hanging on to mine

I like you California
Although I feel obliged to warn ya
We're gonna rob you blind

What's the point in cutting tracks
With all this money in the back?

Now the good times have begun
That's not a fire -- it's just the sun
It's like the old man said
Take the money and run
What's the rush?
Let's take The One
