REPEAT CHORUS:
NOTES:
*From the word "Boin-n-n-g" until right before the piano solo, I
believe these are all just single notes played on guitar/bass. It
sounds as if it is playing an Em chord, but I am not exactly sure.
If anyone knows different please let me know.
**At the end of the chorus on the 2nd time, it does some weird
stuff with the Dm7 and Eb chords, and then repeats the last line of
the chorus one more time
