This doesn't sound totally right at parts, but it's a good guide. If you=
can come up with anything better for the chorus, please repost it. Also,=
I don't have time to figure out the solo. If there's any interest, maybe=
someone could post that too.
VERSE
Am F C E I got a crush, copy shop clerk Am F C(hit C chord and quickly mute) But she won't look up at me Am F Don't want to be known as the freak C E Am(hit and mute) Who just comes around to catch her eye
CHORUS
A D Bm E We could be sleeping in the flowers, We could sleep all afternoon C F Dm E You'd proclaim that your an island, I proclaim that I'm one too

INTERLUDE
(This part is tough to show rythm as there are no words, but basically
the guitar just plays one note on the high E string)
e5-5-5-55-55-5-55-5-5-5-55-55-5-5e This is the rythm I use with each =
dash or 5 Equals a sixteenth note
but I think you can figure it out
Then the bass does somthing like this:
G-------------------0-|----------------0-----|G D---------------2--2--|------------2--2------|D A---0---3---5---------|0-0-3---5-------------|A E---------------------|----------------------|E
Repeat these figures twice, then back to the verse
Am F C E I got a ride, home with a drunk guy Am F C(hit and mute) How ungreatful I must have seemed Am F C E He showed me how, to spin my head round and round
