Remember that one, folks. I figured out the chords from a videotape of their performance on Conan O'Brien, so if there are blatant errors, that's probably where they're from. Also, my tape was cut off, so I don't know the ending! Geordan Rosario ([email protected]) ===================================================================== INTRO: Cm F Cm F

And at home the radio was on

Just like the Grateful Dead
