Okay, The riff is the same throughout-

and I'll include the bass part for convenience...

And here's the guitar riff, that comes in in the chorus-

as Black Francis screams: "TAME!!!"

1------------I------------I----------------I Repeat.

2------------I------------I----------------I

3-7-7--7-7-7-I-5-5--5-5-5-I-10-10-10-10-10-I

4-7-7--7-7-7-I-5-5--5-5-5-I-10-10-10-10-10-I

5-5-5--5-5-5-I-3-3--3-3-3-I-8--8--8--8--8--I

6------------I------------I----------------I

and here's what Joey plays:

1-13^-(13)-15^-I Just do that with lots of

2--------------I distortion, and repeat

3--------------I throughout the chorus.

4--------------I Play about with trills

5--------------I using those two notes.

6--------------I

The lyrics are really simple- you should be able to work

them out by listening hard. But there's one line which I

thought ended with 'Shag' at first- it is infact 'Must be

havin' a good shame.'

Just so you know.

After the second chorus, there's that great bit with

Black Francis and Kim Deal going: "Uh-huh", with that it's

the same as the verse: Bass only.

Have fun, it's simple, enjoyable to play and a great song.

Play along to the CD to work out the timing of the singing.
