Notes : This piece seems to continue from the previous song on the CD - Flick of the Wrist.
The last line  "Baby You've been had...." , ends with a chord of Am, and the style of playing this 
chord, starts this song.
Am^ means the chord of Am played on the higher octave 

Intro : Am  Am^  Dm  Dm add G    Am  Am^  Dm  Dm add G    Am  Am^ Am^  G  Em  Am  Am    G
