First Saxophone fill (in case you're in one of those lame-o
bands without a Saxophone ;))

e|-12-------|
B|---12b--10|
G|----------|
D|----------|
A|----------|
E|----------|
2nd Sax fill:
(slide up to the last note
and hold it as long as you can...
squeeze tight for sustain!)
e|-12-------|----/17---|

G|----------|----------|
D|----------|----------|
A|----------|----------|
E|----------|----------|
Chorus:
(no leads here on the original version,
but I put some in as the song is kind of
boring with out them (and if you
don't have a sax in your band)
So I make my F#m and A like this:
F#m A
-2- -X-
-2- -2-
-2- -2-
-4- -2-
-4- -0-
-2- -X-
Use your first finger to make the A chord,
and you're right in position for some fills
using your A pentanoic MAJOR scale
F#m A

Sometime I feel like...

OK, now just repeat the Verse and Intro from above again,
but before the chorus use the second sax fill...
Now the bridge:
||:--------|-3------:||
||:---3-6-3|---3-6-3:||
||:--------|--------:||
||:-5------|--------:|| (x2)
||:--------|--------:||

And back to the chorus..., and your done. Almost.
End on:
