version 2
The opening riff is just based on the open A and D chords:
A D5
---------------|
-2--2---2-3----|
-2--2---2-2----|
-2--2---2-0----|
-0--0---0------|
---------------|
This is repeated till the line "You won't behave the way a big girl should"
when this chord sequence occurs.
E F#m G
For the chorus it is just a permutation of the opening riff with a slightly
different timing for the first two chords.
For the bridge with lyrics "No more sniffing strangers..."

The not terribly devastating solo goes like this:

--14h16---------------------------------------!

----------------------------------------------!
Note: b - is for bend
The brackets are for the note to bend to.
r - is for return from bend
\ - means slide down.
Also at the end during the 'G-chord' & lyrics "You will come a little faster
,thanks too ..", this is just a bar in 5/4. The next bar for the chorus is
back to 4/4.
