Song Title: If I didn't love you I'd hate you
Artist: Squeeze
The last time I sent in a song, some of the chords shifted
slightly. Listen to the song to get a better idea of how
to play it just in case. :)
Please post corrections if I'm way off here.

Taking a bite on a biscuit

The record jumps on a scratch

A different interpretation
Words basically taken from what's above, with revised (and hopefully more
correct) chords.
Figured out by Geordan Rosario (geordan@csua.berkeley.edu) with some help from
Ben Scott (scotsman@csua.berkeley.edu). Ben rewound the CD relentlessly for
me.

----------
Footnote 1: If played on keyboard, the D must be played D-F#-A. Won't sound
right otherwise.
Footnote 2: That's right, no chord split F#. i.e., the bassist closes the
song with F#.
