repeat intro

second verse

      Day turns to night, I was wrong you were right
      Hope I'm Mr. Hyde, Not doctor J.
      Sometimes I'm not myself, Must be somebody else
      To jeoparize your love.  What went wrong I'll right. oh.

bridge again

then, an E major asending scale three times

then, intro minus tabbed part

the rest is the "live" guitar solo...  rhythym part just jams in E major
