        I didn't figure out all of this song...only the verse riff. It is an
integral part of the song though so that fact should keep this from being a
worthless post. I'm including the lyrics as well so that should help the
cause.  The verse riff should be fairly accurate because it's similar
if not identical to what the guitarist played on SNL. The transcription is
fairly general but just play it loosely to make up for any inaccuracies. The
positions should be correct though. Write me with any
comments,questions,corrections or additions at meunier.1@osu.edu

Repeat that riff throughout verse. There's a possibility that it might vary
slightly at certain points. Just play along with the rhythm and it should
sound fine. Even though I described the tone as clean electric, there may be
a slight reverb or some other effect. I'm not a musician so I really don't
know. It sounds fine clean though IMO.

Anyone who wants to post the chords for the bridge and chorus is more than
welcome. Have fun with it.
