JOSH HOMME: So let's have a good time, shall we? [Intro, Dean Fertita (Synthesizer), octave lower]

Instead of playing the higher Dm chord (17,18,19), you can just play a regular Dm chord:
e|-5-|
B|-6-|
G|-7-|
D|-7-|
A|-5-|
E|-x-|
which fits better for the groove notes. Repeat through the verse until the chorus. [Chorus, Dean Fertita (Synthesizer)]

Like the way you used to do... Troy Van Leuween (Guitar) & Michael Schuman (Bass) enter. Then the second verse repeats like the first, until the chorus, which Troy plays identical as the first but adding an Am chord. [Chorus, Troy Van Leuween (Guitar, Tremolo)]

[BREAK with Dm chord (Troy Van Leuween)] As the song has built, Verse 3 comes with more strumming than before from the guitar, until the chorus. Here, Mikey adds some groovy lines after the A chord. [Chorus, Troy Van Leuween (Guitar, Tremolo); Michael Schuman (Bass)]
