Music repeats to the verses below Did you hear me baby come back and tell you the things he's seen Did it surprise you to be picked up at eight in a limosine? Doing the things he's accustomed to do. Which at one time it seemed like a dream now it's true. And unknowing you made it all happen this way. REPEAT FIRST STANZA After the long ascending guitar line the song stops and then starts again with a reprise of the main riff and improvisational section. This is the long ascending guitar line that ends the song and precedes the "reprise and jam". _______________________________________________________________ ___________________________________7__8__8__8__10__10__12______ _____________________________7__9______________________________ _____________7__7__7__9__9_____________________________________ __7__9__10_____________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________ Repeat main riff and start jammin'.
