# #----------------------------------PLEASE NOTE---------------------------------# JOKING (Amy Ray) ---------------- [The net result of all the instruments is G Em7 C(9) D, which you can play as 320033 022033 x32033 x00232, but actually, Amy just plays G Em C D, or 320003 022000 x32010 x00232. In other words, Amy never plays the D variations; that's Emily's part, way up high on the neck.] G Em7 C D G Em7 C(9) Dsus-D-D-D [intro]
