She’s been waiting for another love
Dm          Am            C        G
Someone that she can show into her heart
Dm           Am              C        G

Think you’re a king, she’s your throne
Bb        F         C
Get ready now cause pretty soon
Bb            (Am) F    (Am)(Bb) (F)  G

PERFORMANCE NOTES:

- If you play this song with 2 guitarists, have one play
  the chords as shown above, and have the other person
  do some picking around the chord shapes. This helps to
  spice up the tune and add some layering. You can hear
  an electric picking the chord shapes on the recording.

- During the guitar solo and the outro chorus, the rhythm 
  guitarist should add a few quick extra stabs while playing
  the G-chord in the main riff (listen to the song to hear 
  exactly what this variation sounds like). 

- The chords in brackets in verses 2 and 3 are more or less
  what the bass plays, and they act as transitions between the 
  main chords. You can play these bracketed chords if you like,
  but it can be a bit tricky to make this fast series of changes.
