Chorus (brass): out
********************************************************************************
* 2nd: The clean, heavily reverbed electric guitar panned in the right side.
* Notice that the two strums of each chord is on 2 and 3+.
Strum in a short staccato, that means immediately mute the chord,
in order for the reverb to ring out clearly.

LYRICS
**********
Meet you dowstairs in the bar and hurt
Your rolled up sleeves in your skull t-shirt
You say "What did you do with him today?"
and sniffed me out like I was Tanqueray
'Cause you're my fella,my guy
Hand me your Stella and fly
By the time I'm out the door
You tear men down like Roger Moore
I cheated myself
Like I knew I would
I told you I was trouble
