(Note that the chords are frequently bent slightly, creating
subtle pitch changes. Listen to song and you'll understand.)


VERSE:

(Same chords as intro)

Clap your hands if you want some!
Clap your hands if you need some!
Clap your hands if you can't wait!

(Repeat)

Play the whole thing twice.
(NOTE: The "x14" and "x12" in parenthesis, simply means to play the
previous chord fourteen or twelve times.  The whole bridge is done
in eighth notes without any rests.)
