There's only one life

There's only one gift start giving

Bridge 2 - riff 2

I wanna know - Are you the Real Deal - repeat until tired

Additional Notes - In the chorus, I'm sure that the guitarist fiddles

around with hammering and picking between the A and B base notes when

playing the B5 power chord.
