Strum
D-DU-UDU
B x2444x Play with barred 3rd finger it's easiest
A x0222x Jack plays with a barre and doesn't play high E
E 0221xx Sounds more like record if you don't play 1st and 2nd strings
2443xx Likewise
Watch out when playing the D. If you listen to the record the pitch drops earlier
than the previous chords, but it'll sound fine if you play D 5 times then let go.

The intro is played once, then on the second time through Jack starts singing
on the second/third strike of the B Chord. Exactly the same rythym.
Fell in love with a girl
I fell in love once and almost completely
She's in love with the world
But sometimes these feelings
Can be so misleading
After the E has finished the B is replaced by F, same rythym etc. just that change.
For the G|--0- bit at end of the F play G|----
D|--0- D|--0-
A|--0- A|--0-
E|---- E|--0-
She turns and says are you alright?
I said I must be fine cause my heart's still beating
Come and kiss me by the riverside, yeah
FSingle strike of the chord then let it fade to end of line....
Bobby says it's fine he don't consider it cheating now
Red hair with a curl
Mellow roll for the flavor and the eyes for peeping
Can't keep away from the girl
These two sides of my brain need to have a meeting
(I've got a friend says he's heard Jack sing it: I see stars in my brain, need a
hallowed meeting, but the record sings it: These two sides....)
Can't think of anything to do, yeah
My left brain knows that all love is fleeting
She's just looking for something new, yeah
Fagain single strike and fade..........
I said it once before but it bears repeating now
(Where he sings 'all love is' it might be 'our love', make up your own minds)
Back to B A D E It's repeated twice with Ah ahhhaa ahhhhhh aaah etc. sung over,
you'll have to listen to the record to get that right, I can't tab ahhhs.
Can't think of anything to do, yeah
My left brain knows that all love is fleeting
She's just looking for something new, yeah
Fagain single strike and fade..........
I said it once before but it bears repeating now
Fell in love with a girl
