POP SONG 89
{ The opening lick is straight off an A blues scale. I don't have my
guitar here to transcribe it. It doesn't sound good by itself anyway.
Whistling is a great substitue when you have to play alone. Ha! Ha!
no not the skin flute!}

the melody[B] o[/]n [/]th[/]e [B]br[/]ea[/]k [/]is[E]n'[/]t [/]to[/]o [D/Dsus4]hard to pick out. The notes
are real close to the chords - often in them. I think its weird
that Pete didn't play them on the acoustic version.}
