  22 <p>Capo 1st fret (sounding key C# major), or a fast tape.</p>
  23
  24 <p>The G at the beginning of the chorus is tinted with a c, i.e. it could
  25 basically be played as a Gsus4 (e.g. 320013), although it may also be
  26 the outcome of two different chords (C and G) being played on two
  27 different guitars.</p>

  46 Steal her rings and run.
  47 F              C
