Get used to the hand formations. They can be hard
to switch quickly.

SOLO: (still with EADGAd tuning)
Nils Lofgren’s awesome solo (I’m not 100% on this)
I use heavy distortion with a wah-wah pedal.

INTRO: (Repeat twice) C5 G5 F5 C5 C5 G5 A5 G5ii
For the verses, just repeat the sequence: C5 G5 F5 C5 for each line:
Fat man sitting on a little stool
Takes the money from my hand while his eyes take a walk all over you
Hands me the ticket smiles and whispers good luck
Cuddle up angel cuddle up my little dove
We'll ride down baby into this tunnel of love
(Repeat Intro)
I can feel the soft silk of your blouse
And them soft thrills in our little fun house
Then the lights go out and it's just the three of us
You me and all that stuff we're so scared of
Gotta ride down baby into this tunnel of love
(Repeat Intro)
There's a crazy mirror showing us both in 5-D
F5 C5
I'm laughing at you you're laughing at me
F5 C5
There's a room of shadows that gets so dark brother
F5 C5
It's easy for two people to lose each other in this tunnel of love
F5 C5 G5 C5 G5 F5 G5
SOLO, then repeat between C5 and F5 for the "sha na na na na na na" part
It ought to be easy ought to be simple enough
Man meets woman and they fall in love
But the house is haunted and the ride gets rough
And you've got to learn to live with what you can't rise above if you want
to ride on down in through this tunnel of love
