Note that the chords on the verses sustain a little, 
but notation wasn't easy
so listen to the record to get the timing and feel.

The above is repeated for the verses 4 times.  But the 
last time no E is
played, instead Jimmy goes back into the intro parts.  
Othertimes in the
song he plays the E four times before going back to the
 intro.  Listen
to the recording to get these changes, it is quite 
clear.

Note during the song similar riffs to the intro.  The 
little riff fill goes
something like this.  Note that Jimmy plays variations 
on the fill.

                          bend from b to c# and then back to b

Words :

Let me take you to the movies, can I take you to the 
show?
Let me be yours ever truly, can I make your garden 
grow?

>From the houses of the holy, we can watch the white
 doves go.
>From the door comes Satans daughter, and it only 
goes to show.  and you know.

There's an angel on my shoulder, in my hand a sword of 
gold.
Let me wander in your garden, and the seeds of love 
I'll sow.  You know.

So the world is spinning faster, are you dizzy when you
 stall
Let the music be your master will you heed the master's
 call    Ohhh

Said there aint no use in crying, cause it will only, 
only drive you mad
Does it hurt to hear them lying?  Was this the only 
world you had?

So let me take you take you to the movies, can I take 
you baby to the show
Why don't you let me be yours ever truly, Can I make 
your garden grow?
