Listen to a lot of live versions of the song and you'll see similar patterns
that Rob Baker plays. To understand the solo it's important to use the scale
and know the patterns. For example...
Pattern A:
e|----------------------|
B|-5/12~-12/10~-9h10p9~-|
G|----------------------|
D|----------------------|
A|----------------------|
E|----------------------|
Pattern B:
e|----------------|
B|-5~-5/3~-2h3p2~-|
G|----------------|
D|----------------|
A|----------------|
E|----------------|
Pattern A and B are identical but played on different parts of the fretboard.
Listen to a live version until you hear these patterns. Then try switching
between them when you are playing and figure out your own patterns using the
scale.
Try ending with this...
e|-------5/12-10-9-7~-|
B|-5/12~--------------|

(Intro x1)
Verse 1:
He said I'm fabulously rich,
c'mon just lets go.
She kinda bit her lip,
Geez, I don't know.
Bridge 1:
But I can guarantee
There'll be no knock on the door.
I'm a total pro,
that's what I'm here for.
Chorus 1:
I come from downtown.
Born ready for you.
Armed with will and determination
and grace, too
(Intro x1)
(Bridge x4)
Verse 2:
The secret rules of engagement
are hard to endorse
when the appearance of conflict
meets the appearance of force.
Bridge 2:
But I can guarantee
there'll be no knock on the door.
I'm a total pro,
that's what I'm here for.
Chorus 2:
I come from downtown.
Born ready for you.
Armed with skill and it's frustration
and grace, too.
(Outro x?)
Him? Here? Now? No!
Him? Here? Now? No!
