2nd gtr, palm mute

VERSE 1:

D5/A C5 D5/A There might be two gtrs here, but in

Color me once, color me twice any case, here's what I've got.

Everything gonna turn out nice

Everlasting love you gotta

Keep me from these false alarms

Sayin alarm, alarm, I seem so sad

Ring, ring, I see her I'm glad

Maybe, maybe

I'm the fire of her desire

Patience, patience said the man

Patience, patience, I can't understand

Patience like a man and a wife

I got patience on my neck like a coco that

I say Jack be nimble, Jack fall dead

Jack bend over and give Jilly head

Oh, you gotta help my body heal my soul

SOLO 1:

^ = bend

VERSE 2:

Dead men working, a sinner, a saint

Mixing up a pail of paint

Painted the house black as night

But when the sun came up the house was white

D5/A etc,

Gotta go on, gotta go on

We gotta go on, you gotta go on

We gotta go on

SOLO 2:

Wait til I get a wah-pedal...

Same as the intro, except for a final A|-X-|.
