Tune a 1/2 step down as per usual for about 99% of Live’s songs. Builds up with keyboards or something then kicks in with this... Intro: (using heavy distortion) Verse: (using chorus) Let’s go hang out in a mall or a morgue smorgasbord... Chorus: (using heavy distortion) Dm A   G Dm It’s a crazy crazy mixed up town... It’s the rattlesnake I fear... Bridge: Bb C F (ahhh.... ahhh...) Solo to the chorus chord progression. That’s pretty much it; just listen to the song to figure out where everything goes.  Oh and the outro is the same as the intro. Enjoy!
