only three notes of each played, one at a time, so it runs as follows...)

Chords (for Verses):

DDDDDDD-C----------DDDDDDDC-CCCCCCC-G-GGGGGGG-D (x2)
Hot sticky scenes, You know what I mean...
Like the desert sun that burns my skin...

D-D-D-D-F--F-F-F-C--C-C-C-G--G-G-G  (x2)
I've been waiting...so long, for her...
Open the sky, and let her come down...

				-@- 

Crunched Chords (After 1st Chorus):

(Y'know how to do these - hand resting on strings over bridge, just
shutting them off...etc.)

DDDDDDDC--DDDDDDDC--DDDDDDDD-D-D-FF-G----

				-@-

Solo Intro:

e:-------------------------------------------B:-3-1-0-----0-3---10-----3-1-0-----0-3--310-G:-------2-01--------2----------2-01---------D:----------------------0--------------------

				-@-

Funky Chord (!):

(Basically just a D (barred on the 10th fret) only just play top 3     
strings, eg:)

e||---|---|-- - - - --|-o-|---|---B||---|---|-- - - - --|-o-|---|---G||---|---|-- - - - --|---|-o-|--- D||---|---|-- - - - --|---|---|---A||---|---|-- - - - --|---|---|--- E||---|---|-- - - - --|---|---|--- - -		       10th		       fret

Play in a "funk" fashion (ie. strumming a constant rhythm (a fast one) 
lifting fingers away from frets to 'kill' the strings and create rhythm 
patterns) for 8 bars...

Solo:

e:-10---10----1-0------1-331-0----10---------1-0---10----1-331-0---10-------B:----3----33-----33-3---------3-----33-313-3---33---33-3--------3----33-313G:--------------------------------------------------------------------------

C'est finis.

As for Floorshow - keep at it!  It'll click eventually, it's all about
rhythm (and blagging it!)

All the best.
