On the _Doolittle_ version, the chords during the verse are not played; get a bass-playin' friend to play just the roots of the chords, or have another guitarist fake it on the bottom strings. [NOTE: I'm just talking about the chords that go on while Francis is singing-- the four-chord runs at the end of each line of the verse should always be played. If you've heard the song you know what I'm talking about.] The verse chords should all be played in an E-barre shape. For the chorus, play the F as before, but play the A open and the Bb as an A barred up one fret. I'll post the little opening line of this when I can get home and figure it out, plus the rest of the words, plus some more songs from "Doolittle". Jordan Ellenberg ellenber@husc9.harvard.edu
