[Original note on solo: Unfortunately, Pete plays the solo on either a
guitar tuned to Eb, or the E string tuned down to Eb (or maybe ALL
the guitars tuned down), so if you don't have two guitars you can
either 1) play all chords up a 1/2 step or 2) don't pluck the low E
string on the solo and play it in Eb.]
[Second note: stage versions played in standard tuning same as below
and begin at bar 5; solo played as below without low Eb]
Eb xx134x and xx88 11 x
Ebsus4 xx1144 and xx889x
Fsus4 1x3311 and xxx566
F 1x3211 and xxx565
[INTRO; 3 guitars; 2 strum Eb & Ebsus4, one plays arpeggios]

Gm
You talk about your woman. I wish you could see mine.
Fsus4 F Gm
Yeah, you talk about your woman. I wish you could see mine.
F C D
Every time she starts to lovin' she brings eyesight to the blind.
You know her daddy gave her magic, I can tell by the way she walks.
Her daddy gave her magic, I can tell by the way she walks.
Every time she starts to shakin', the dumb begin to talk.
