Tuned down 1/2-step
Comments: This is the early bass-playing of Gene in a nutshell. The way he
outlines the chords, the way he varies things slightly, the chromatic
passing notes, and the way he locks in with the guitars for the important
riffs. In this song is the material that will get worked into most songs
during the first three albums.

I know a thing or two about her
[Rhy. Fig 1]
I know she'll only make you cry
[Rhy. Fig 2]
She'll let you walk the street beside her
[Rhy. Fig 4]
But when she wants she'll pass you by
[Rhy. Fig 7] (2x)
Everybody says she's lookin' good
And the lady knows it's understood
[Rhy. Fig 8a]

She wears her satins like a lady
[Rhy. Fig 1]
She gets her way just like a child
[Rhy. Fig 3]
You take her home and she says "Maybe, baby"
[Rhy. Fig 4]
She takes you down and drives you wild
[Rhy. Fig 7] (2x)
Everybody says she's lookin' good
And the lady knows it's understood
