  with Tom's C chord play and hold G harmonic at 12th fret

Main section - The song is based on straight-eighths with a few variations. Each line of lyrics is four measures. Tom's part is straight off the key of C. The fills may not match exactly, but anyone should be able to time them right. Tom plays fills while Tanya slaps the rhythm; in between fills, Tom similes Tanya with chorus and delay. % - repeat chord in previous measure; * - rest between chords
