This section isn't note for note, but rather the shapes around which the melody in the 
right ear are improvised. You can play this and have it sound fine, or listen for the 
little intricacies.

The notes in brackets indicate that the note is being held at that pitch - hold the bend 
on 9 (E) at the pitch of 11 (F#) and then play both the G and B strings when you 
release the bend to get the discord Catfish get. 

Chorus:

The first half of the Chorus is the above, with the guitar in the right ear tabbed and 
the guitar in the left ear playing the chords underneath. The 7 in the root of the 
syncopated Bm is not a typo, listen carefully! In the second half of the Chorus, the  
same chords are played by both guitars without the scratch rhythm, and ends abruptly on the  
first A5

Lyrics: 

You're simpatico 
And of all the lift homes and all the mi­xed feelings 
You're cuts above 
And you don't own worries or a chest ful­l of heartache. 
Yes I know 
That I'll never work out exactly how you­'re thinking 
But let me know when I'm needed home. 

And I'd come 
You can leather me with your lips 

I've gotta give it to you 
You give me problems 
When you are not in the mood 
I've gotta give it to you 
You give me problems 
And made me give in to you 
Her dealer hates me you know 
He used to see her but she sold 
Him off on down the river. 

It's impratical 
To go out and catch a death with a dress fit for the summer 
So she don't 
Instead she calls me up with a head full of filth an' 
Yes I know 
I'll never acquiesce anything I'm thinki­ng 
But let me know when I'm needed home. 

And I'd come 
You can leather me with your lips 

I've gotta give it to you 
You give me problems 
When you are not in the mood 
I've gotta give it to you 
You give me problems 
And made me give in to you 
Her dealer hates me you know 
He used to see her but she sold 
Him off on down the river.
