Live in Milan- November 28 2008 (original link taken down) Same arangment, not sure of the venue or date: Studio: https://youtu.be/ItBbngybK3U Backing Track: https://youtu.be/hSo-dNPok7I The chord pattern used in the Intro & Instrumental can be used throughout. A hammer on the bass string of the F#5 & B5 chords. I decided to not clutter up the Verse & Chorus sections with that many chords Define: E6sus2 044xxx F#5 244xxx A6sus2 x044xx B5 x244xx C#5 x466xx [Intro] E6sus2 F#5 A6sus2 B5 C#5 E6sus2 F#5 E6sus2 F#5 A6sus2 B5 A6sus2 B5 C#5 E6sus2 F#5 E6sus2 F#5 C#5 A6sus2 B5 E6sus2 F#5 E6sus2 F#5 [Chorus]

               F#5

F#5
I don't want no one to squeeze me,

B5          C#5          F#5
 they might take away my life.

        B5
I don't want no one to squeeze me,

they might take away my life.

       C#5
I just want someone to hold me

 and rock me through the night

This youthful heart can love you,

 yes, and give you what you need.

             B5

Oh, and give you what you need.
