[Verse]

     E
Well do you don't you want me to make you

I'm coming down fast but don't let me break you
                                 G
Tell me tell me tell me come on tell me the answer
          A                                E
Well you may be a lover but you ain't no dancer.

So much for verses and choruses.  The rest are pretty much the same,
except that the rest of the verses hit the G chord a little sooner
(at the beginning of the third line of the verse).

Later, there's a neat riff in one of the last verses.  I think it
comes right after "will you won't you want me to make you" or something
like that.  This is a cool riff with that looonnnng slide.

As the song fades into the first ending, there are some nice bend releases,
while the lyrics repeat "coming down fast":
E|--b(17)15------------------------------------------------------------| 
B|-----------b(17)15---------------------------------------------------| 
G|--------------------b(16)14------------------------------------------| 
D|-----------------------------b(14)12---------------------------------| 
A|--------------------------------------b(14)12------------------------| 
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------| 

Later, there's a whole lot of Hendrix-like guitar noise.
