try this.  it's not the real way, but it sounds a lot better than the 
real way:

-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0---------------------------- if you don't 
                                                         have a studio
                                                         then fake it.

chorus:  your guess is as good as mine.  I just play:

--0----0---0---0---          --0---
--0----0---0---0---          --0---
--9----8---7---8---    or    --8---  there's no basis on the album
--9----8---7---8---          --9---  for this, it's just fun 
--7----6---5---6---          --9---  sometimes...
-------------------          --7---

then second verse (I'll transcribe the second guitar when I have time), 
second chorus, and intro again for "why can't you forget..."

(and so forth.  it's not as if you can't just pick up the CD cover and 
read them for yourself.)

Is it that wrong?  respond and offer different playing suggestions 
please.  ricky lee at captain_zodiac@hotmail.com
