Once in a while I'd surf with you, our first band was called

I.M.R.U.

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:

G-----(6)-7---------9---7-------------7-------9-7-9-7-----
D-(7)-----------------7-------------7---------------------

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.
