Try this variation on the riff supplied in the 1st version of the intro
(dont know who to accredit it to) I'm afraid i like to combine two obviously
separate guitar parts into some acoustic plucking so leave out the
bass notes if you aren't into that:
e----------------------------5h7-5----
b--3h5-3---3h5-3---3-/-7-7-7-------7--
g--------4-------4--------------------
D------------------0-----0-0-0--------
A-------------------------------------
D--5-------5--------------------------
Anyway here's the song
Verse A - palm muted mostly
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

(i) Every little thing?s gotta be just right
(ii) Can?t I get back my lonely life
2nd verse (often no palm mute and even full dropped-d power chord eg 555xxx)
verse A
I?m goin? so fast that I can?t slow down
It?s hard to get up when you?re spinnin? round and round
I?d tell you the news but nothin?s changed
verse B
I?d sing you a song but they blew it away
All wrapped up in this stupid ass game
Chorus
Hey, California waiting
Every little thing?s gotta be just right
Say, While you?re tryin? to save me
Can?t I get back my lonely life
Can?t I get back my lonely life
Soft Chorus
- 1 rake and let ring each of 55578x then 000230 then
- 1 rake and let ring each of 55578x then 000235
And back to normal chorus with palm mutin
