POP SONG 89
{intro: A A D D A A D D D x 3}
{ The opening lick is straight off an A blues scale. I don't have my
guitar here to transcribe it. It doesn't sound good by itself anyway.
Whistling is a great substitue when you have to play alone. Ha! Ha!
no not the skin flute!}

A D A D
> Hello I saw you I know you I knew you
A D A D
> I think I can remember your name...name
A D A D
A D A D
> Hello I'm sorry I lost myself
A D A D
> I think I thought you were someone else
>
E G D BaddE
> Should we talk about the weather?
E G D B
> Should we talk about the government?
{break: B / / / B / / / E / / / E7 / / /
B / / / B / / / E / / / D/Dsus4
the melody on the break isn't too hard to pick out. The notes
are real close to the chords - often in them. I think its weird
that Pete didn't play them on the acoustic version.}
>
> Hello my friend are you visible today?
> And no one ever knew that it could be so strange...strange
> Hello I'm sorry I lost myself
> I think I thought you were someone else
