This song sounds best when fingerpicking instead of using a pick so you're
constantly plucking the bass notes while moving through the intro.

The lyrics for the second verse are actually: we will wake when kitty licks, and in the morn, work takes her to maine, dressed and out the door by six, tomorrow is the first time liz can't board my plane,

Laziness not to write the lyrics (best of the song) for V2 .. why not? Laziness not to write the lyrics (best of the song) for V2 .. why not?

(to wesdik123) E|0| B|0| G|2| D|1| A|2| E|0| for B7 (basically an inverted D) it sounds almost right, for a perfect B7 you can either do: E|2| B|0| G|2| D|1| A|2| E|0| (try having your pinky hold the E) E|2| B|4| G|2| D|4| A|2| E|0| (bar the second fret)
