vieurd:   “The general chord progression is F-Csus4-Bbsus4-F-Csus4 
John seems strum the sixth string on the F chord and the fifth and 
sixth strings on the Csus4 and Bbsus4 somewhat lightly in order to 
place emphasis on the guitar melody.” 

|  F  |  Csus4  |  Bbsus4  |  F  Csus4  |

one, two, two and a half 
Stick around here? Don’t make me laugh 

two-and-a-half, three, four-point-five 
The new day's dawning and my hour's arrived 

one, two 
I got things to do 

one, three* 
I got people to see, I got people that wanna see me 

Na na na… 

Na na na… 


*This is what he sings in the recording. 
According to John, “The final line actually goes 

three fours lined up in a row 
I got people to see, I got people that wanna see me 

so that the last verse has a "one two three four" 
except that the third one is "three fours," O young John tryna be all clever”
