    This isn't exact, and that's 
last bit sounds like "Unskinny Bop"
    by Poison (yeah, I know, it's 
really "I Know A Little" by
    Skynyrd), so I don't like it. 
But this is as good as I can do
    with this bit.
3) "My life's fun is wild?" Bell 
didn't really say that, did he?
    Well, it's the best *I* can do 
with it. Any better suggestions are
    welcome.
4) There is a piano in here, mostly 
doing the chords.
5) The vocal harmonies are a large 
part of this (and almost every Big
    Star) song. The most amazing bit
 comes during the "So right" part.
    The backing vox (singing 
"right") go from G to F# over the 
G-D
    change, and then they go back up
 from F# to G over the D-A
    change, making the A chord an 
amazing dominant 7th. This is, of
    course, a very basic expanation 
of what is going on here. I'm
    sure it's a lot more 
complicated, but this'll get you 
started.

D      Em       G        D Eb
Once I walked a lonely road

Em       C               G
I had no one to share my load
D        Em                  G  D Eb
Then you came and showed the way
Em    C                   G
Now I hope you're here to stay
