  • For this riff, you play the same thing as Riff 1 , except you add in the
    B string on the same fret. Crank up the reverb and pick these really
    fast to get the desired sound. I like to play them with my middle finger
  • on the E and my ring finger on the B. Here's an example of the chords.

    Note: These intro/interlude chords sound best if you pick them rapidly.
    Although, you could just strum them and let them sustain. Either
  • way is fine, it's entirely up to you.

  • Vodka cran in your hand
    and whose little girl are you now
    Oh i'd ask for this dance
  • but i know you'd play like you don't know how [RIFF 1 BEGIN]
     
    What your coy smile exposes
  • A recent memory of when we shit our bed of roses
     
    And i know the moon above is shining down
  • But not for our love
    so for who?
     
  • [RIFF 2 BEGIN]
    so for who?
    [RIFF 3 BEGIN]
  •  
    Beneath the cigarettes and sugar shit of alcohol breath
    i can taste the ocean on your tounge
  • Remember when we sat on the sidewalk of your old block
    Against the wall under the stars
    Talking about love's meaning
  • Well, i wasn't dreaming
     
    I meant every word
  • Just didn't know your demons
     
    [RIFF 2 BEGIN]

    Do you know mine, babe?
    Are we wasting time, babe?

  •  
    Well we chose the course but
    The weather changed
  • and the river froze
    And when it thawed it was running
    Backwards and dry now
  • I suppose it's appropriate to cry now
     
    Over wasted time
  • And naked lies
    Still get wasted sometime
     
  • [RIFF 4]
     
    End with feedback/bends/reverb on the F# chord described in Riff 3.
