Porcupine Pie-Neil Diamond (Acoustic) Studio album: Moods, 1972 Live album: Hot August Night, 1972 This is a silly, er, simple song. One could just play a D throughout, but I'm almost certain I hear a sort of cadence (a bit trillish) played in parts between D & Dsus4 (just adding pinky finger to the 'e' string in the 3rd fret and off again). Skip it or noodle it, either way... mind your denim! ;-) Intro: D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D Dsus4 Verse 1:

D
Porcupine Pie, Porcupine Pie,

 A                                                     
you gotta eat it with gloves,

                          D   Dsus4  D Dsus4
or your hands will turn green..

weaves its way through my dreams 

  A
I do believe I'm gonna try some and 

 A

the chicken ripple ice cream.
