    PRE 2nc CHORUS: Just before the second chorus there is a little subtle
    background lick just after the words 'touch me':
  • G
    E-330--------------|
    B----30------------|
  • G------4P2P0-4P2P0-|
    D------------------|
    A------------------|
  • E------------------|
     
    LAST 2 CHORDS: The last two chords of the song are 'A' to 'G'. The effect at the end is
  • achieved by using a Les Paul style guitar and turning the top volume, for the neck
    pickup, off and then whilst holding the G flicking the toggle switch quickly. It helps
    if you stand next to a loud amp aswell, because then you get the feedback starting to
  • creep in
  • PLAY TOO ..
