This is a great song by one of my all-time favorite bands, Goldfinga!
The song, does, however, have lots of little bits and pieces to play. So,
if you like Goldfinger, I know you'll enjoy it:

B----------------------------------
G----------------------------------
D----4-5-4-5--------4-5-4-5-7------
A-5r---------7---5r-------------5r-
E--------------5--------------5----

Play main/intro riff once, then at the end of the second time, play this:

E-----------
B-----------

[G-11-11--12-]
[D-11-11--12-]

A--9--9--10-

[F#ii] [G]
2nd guitar plays these chords under the main/intro riff:

Then repeat chorus, playing a barred G-C-G instead of the
(C)-(D)-G part at the end.

Next: repeat intro 2x, then lead guitar plays this while 2nd guitar plays
a D with palm muting:

E-----------------------------------------------------/10-
B-----------7-8-7-8-------7-8-7-8-9-----7-8-7-------------
G-----(6)-7---------9---7-------------7-------9-7-9-7-----
D-(7)-----------------7-------------7---------------------
A---------------------------------------------------------
E---------------------------------------------------------

Last verse repeats the words from the first verse, except it's played
with barre chords.
Riff: ("yeah just by trying. . .")

E---------------------
B---------------------
G---------------------
D--4-4-4-4-4-4--2--0--
A---------------------
E---------------------

Whew! That's pretty much all I've got. It took me a while to figure this
one out, and there may be some other, better ways to play this song. If
you have any questions, comments, changes, or maybe even requests, e-mail
me and I'll see what I can do you for.
