ok this is similar to the tab of Ash's 'Sometimes' i made a while ago. i looked at the
already here and picked out the parts which sounded right. i then made a few alterations
expanded upon the outro riff. i take no claim to the entire work as i completed it with 
use of the tabs already online and they deserve more praise of attempting the track first.

Anyways enjoy.

She turns me on and
Am                F

repeat once and then the outro is:

A
He`s on, He's on, He's on, yeah

this sequence is repeated a bit, then after a while it becomes purely instrumental, so
until the song abruptly ends.
