This section isn't note for note, but rather the shapes around which the melody in the
right ear are improvised. You can play this and have it sound fine, or listen for the
little intricacies.

The notes in brackets indicate that the note is being held at that pitch - hold the bend
on 9 (E) at the pitch of 11 (F#) and then play both the G and B strings when you
release the bend to get the discord Catfish get.

The first half of the chorus is the above, with the guitar in the right ear tabbed and
the guitar in the left ear playing the chords underneath. The 7 in the root of the
syncopated Bm is not a typo, listen carefully! In the second half of the chorus, the
same chords are played by both guitars without the scratch rhythm, and ends abruptly on the
first A5.

Lyrics:
You're simpatico
And of all the lift homes and all the mixed feelings
You're cuts above
And you don't own worries or a chest full of heartache.
Yes I know
That I'll never work out exactly how you're thinking
But let me know when I'm needed home.
And I'd come
You can leather me with your lips
I've gotta give it to you
You give me problems
When you are not in the mood
I've gotta give it to you
You give me problems
And made me give in to you
Her dealer hates me you know
He used to see her but she sold
Him off on down the river.
It's impratical
To go out and catch a death with a dress fit for the summer
So she don't
Instead she calls me up with a head full of filth an'
Yes I know
I'll never acquiesce anything I'm thinking
But let me know when I'm needed home.
And I'd come
You can leather me with your lips
I've gotta give it to you
You give me problems
When you are not in the mood
I've gotta give it to you
You give me problems
And made me give in to you
Her dealer hates me you know
He used to see her but she sold
Him off on down the river.
