After playing the normal verse, play it under Brian while he sing the

" hang on, hang on, to your i.q, to your i.d...." bit.

After all that theres another little riff which comes before the

verse ( I would put down the lyrics so you would know what part I am

on about but I can't understand what he sings. )

After this go into the normal verse.  Repeat the bit above and go

into the next part.  Just before you go into this, Brian sings " oh!"

Phew! back into the verse and after that play the part in which

Brian sings something like " I'm right here, I'm right here." 

Finally do the solo part to end up with.  You'll have to work out

the order of the parts if you don't understand what goes when but it

isn't hard.

Its easier to use a capo on this song ( at the first fret ) ,

especially with the beginning but I wouldn't bother as changing from

the first fret to the 15th as after a while it becomes fairly simple.

( consequently, Stef always has his guitar tuned up half a step but

its just as easy to play using E A D G.
