Notes:
If you're playing the U.K. Surf Mix, turn to a mellow reverby setting and
play
all the chords. On the _Doolittle_ version, the chords during the verse
are
not played; get a bass-playin' friend to play just the roots of the chords,
or have another guitarist fake it on the bottom strings. (NOTE: I'm just
talking about the chords that go on while Francis is singing - the three
chord
runs at the end of each line of the verse should always be played.)
The verse chords should all be played in an E barre shape. For the chorus,
play the F as before, but play the A open and the Bb as an A barred up one
fret.
