This may not be the -exact- way it's played on the record, but it's just a pretty
little finger-plucked ditty, so it doesn't need to be.

Lead guitar in the beginning: (note: you can easily play this along with the
guitar, but I think it's two guitars on the record).

So the song:
(Riff 1)
Sittin' on the front porch
(Riff 1)
Ice cream in my hand
(Riff 1)
Meltin' in the sun
(Riff 1)
All that chocolate on my tongue
(Here walk up the bass note: A Bb B)
(Riff 2)
And that's good enough reason to live
(Riff 2)
Good enough reason to live
Sittin' in the bathtub
Hi-fi playin' low
Diggin' all that green
Well you must know what I mean
And that's good enough reason to live
Good enough reason to live
(Now walk up the bass: E F# G)
(Riff 3)
If I die young
(Riff 1)
At least I got some chocolate on my tongue
(Riff 3)
If I die young
(Riff 1)
'Least I got some chocolate on my tongue
Sittin' in the front seat
Good girl in my arms
Smilin' in my eyes
Gettin' me all hypnotized
And that's good enough reason to live
Good enough reason to live
If I die young
At least I got some chocolate on my tongue
If I die young
'Least I got some chocolate on, chocolate on my tongue
If I die young
At least I got some chocolate on my tongue
That's it. There is of course a bit of noodling and several variations in the song, but
very easy to pick up or make up.
