-Verse 1 - clean- For a lot of these clean parts, he's comping more than he is playing rhythm guitar, so the progression and rhythm change up a lot while still following the same basic skeleton. "Last call for alcohol..." e|-6-7-|-6-7-9-|
B|-6-7-|-6-7-9-|
G|-6-7-|-6-7-9-|
D|-5-6-|-5-6-8-|
A|-6-7-|-6-7-9-|
E|-----|-------|
"I am Emperor Ronald Reagan..." the rhythm locks down to the familiar California Uber Alles progression
