The signature riff played throughout the verse:
E ----------------|B ----------------|G ----------------|D -----2---0h2----|A -0h2---2--------|E ----------------| ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ .
It's played in each bar over the verse... what I do for the verse
is usually play the riff and then play the appropriate chord for the
rest of the bar... (the riff starts at the place where I've listed the
chord)...

A Fool in Love
Em
A Crazy Situation

Her velvet glove
Em
Knocks(?) me down and down and down and down
(3 quick staccato strums of an Em)

A loaded invitation

She takes me down and down and down and down
