This song made it's debut during the summer 2006 tour, and as far as I know, as of now
is no studio version. This is what I could come up with based on the best quality
recordings I have of the song (with two different lead guitarists, but the parts are
similar). 2006-09-27 has Chris (who played electric guitar) and Rich Robinson totally audible,
Paul Stacey is nowhere to be found on the verses/choruses, while 2006-07-23 sounds like
mic was placed in front of Marc Ford's amp. There's a lot of improvisation on every part
this song (especially on the parts I tabbed out during the jam), so have fun with it.
Intro (Chris):E-----------------------|B-----------------------|G-----------------------|D-----------------------|A------2--2-----2--2-2--|E--3h4------3h4------0--|
Verse Riff:
ChrisE-----------------------|B-----------------------|G-----------------------|D--2--------------------|A--2--2-4--5-4-2-----2--|E--0-------------3h4----|
This can be heard relatively clearly on the 2006-09-27 recording.

This can be heard clear as day on the 2006-07-23 recording.
Chorus:
D A
If it takes one to know one
C G
Then baby I'm your man
D A
If love is what you're after
C G
Then come on take my hand
D A
Cause now is the beginning
C G
And tomorrow yesterday
D A
Put your mind into forever
C G
Listen to what I say
E
Baby what I say
Jam (in E)
During the first jam, these parts are played together:
RichE------------------------------------------------|B--12-9------------------12-9------------10-9----|G-------11-9----------9-------11-9--9h11------9--|D-------------11-9-11----------------------------|A------------------------------------------------|E------------------------------------------------|
Paul2006-09-26E------------------|B--14-12-----------|G--------14-12h13--|D------------------|A------------------|E------------------|
or
Marc2006-07-23E--12-10-9-----|B----------12--|G--------------|D--------------|A--------------|E--------------|
All three of these parts are different every time, especially Paul/Marc's in which the
I have tabbed out are followed by something to echo Rich's part, but that part is never
concrete, so feel free to make it up.
When winding down the jam, play the following chords:
B A E
And then back into the verse/chorus, which is followed by another jam
Jam 2 (in E)
When winding down the second jam, play these chords:
E G A
