Is it the beginning rhythm? I know the Intro and I think it goes like this: E--------I-----------I--------I--------I B--12----I---(12)----I--(12)--I--(12)--I G--------I-----------I--------I--------I D--------I-----------I--------I--------I A--------I-----------I--------I--------I E--------I-----------I--------I--------I This is the part where I think the base is playing just before the words start. Repeat this first part once more while the lyrics are beginning. > > Actually the part that I tabbed above *is* the bass part. :) > Next the second guitar comes in and plays something like this: Everybody was.. For miles.. Out at.. E-------I--------------I----------I---------I----------I-------I B---2---I------(2)-----I---2/4----I--(4)----I-4---2/4--I--(4)--I G-------I--------------I----------I---------I----------I-------I D-------I--------------I----------I---------I----------I-------I A-------I--------------I----------I---------I----------I-------I E-------I--------------I----------I---------I----------I-------I Some kind..

get it all out Yea stretch that thing Make it last make it all last At least 'till the supper bell rings Riff A Well Taxi driver likes his rhythm Never likes to stop Throes of passion throes of passion When something just threw him off Chorus: Well sometimes the faster it get The less you need to know But you gotta remember the smarter it gets Riff B The further it's gonna go when you blow at high dough Riff A Whoa baby I feel fine I'm pretty sure it's genuine It makes no sence no it makes no sence But I'll take it free anytime Riff A Whoever fits her usually gets her It was the strangest thing How'd she move so fine move so fine Into that wedding ring Chorus: Well sometimes the faster it get The less you need to know But you gotta remember the smarter it gets The further it's gonna go when you blow at high dough Intro (with minor changes): Out at the speedway Same Elvis thing Well I can't catch her But I can get behind anything B5 But I can get behind anything Solo Chorus: Well sometimes the faster it get The less you need to know But you gotta remember the smarter it gets Riff B The further it's gonna go when you blow at high dough Riff C Outro:
