"Key West Intermezzo (I Saw You First)"
 By John Mellencamp
 Transcribed by Matt McClain
 (Divine Inspiration by Tiffany Waggoner)

 This song is played in "G" but you tune down 1/2 step, so it is really in Gb.
 I guess John thinks he's in Alice In Chains or something.
 I have typed this in by memory, so this may not be 100% accurate,
 but it is fun to play.
 I like to slow this song down and play it on my friend's 12 string.
 Enjoy.

 [Alternate between G and D chords]

 [Main Riff] (in Gb major scale- very easy to pick up)

 Eb:-7----10-7---    Then you can play anything in the Gb
 Bb:---10------8-     major scale to connect this riff
 Gb:-------------      when it repeats at various intervals
 Db:-------------       in the song.
 Ab--------------
 Eb--------------

 NOTE: You can try changing from Am to Am7 in the verses to give
       the song more jangle.
