(3:14) F Dm Oh I do believe F Dm You're all what you perceive F Dm A# What comes is better than what came before F A# Gm Pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa F A# Gm Pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa (3:50) F C A# F And you'd better come, come come, come to me F C A# Come, come, come to me (you better) F C A# Come, come, come to me F F (let ring) Pa pa pa pa pa pa All chord and times are approximations. This song is supposed to be in drop D tuning (DGCFAd). I tuned the song to standard tuning (don't like switching back and forth too much). This sounds pretty close to the song. If you don't like it, just play the chords 1 step higher (F = G; A# = C and so on) on drop D. Solo is the same way (5=7). I didn't quite get all the riffs in the verses. They change many times. I'll work on that later. This is a beautiful song (my favorite VU song). It is not too difficult either. Enjoy it.
