Chords used:

D5 (00032x)
F  (x33211)
G  (550033) or (xx0033)

h = Hammer on
p = Pull off
b = Bend to fret
r = release from fret
~ = Vibrato
s = slide
v = Restrike the string


Note: Chords look a bit odd, Noel and Gem use a dropped D tuning, ie tune the low E
string down to D and it's used as a 'drone' note throughout the song.

Note: With minor alterations this version is the same as the studio version.

     D5
Well do you don't you want me to make you

I'm coming down fast but don't let me break you
                                 F
Tell me tell me tell me come on tell me the answer
          G                                E
Well you may be a lover but you ain't no dancer.
