(Wayyy different to the final song. In brackets are the bass notes. You don't have to play them, but they add the spice!) Intro: F(F) Bb(Bb) F6(D) G7(G) F(F) F(D) G7(G) C7sus4(C) F(F) Bb (Bb) Don't, don't, don't let's start F6(D) G7(G) This is the worst part F(D, C#) F(C) I could believe for all the world G7(B) C7sus4(C) That you were my precious little girl F(F) Bb7(Bb) But don't, don't, don't let's start F6(D) G7(G) I've got a weak heart F(F) F(D) And I don't get around G7(B) C7sus4(C) how you get around F(F) Dm(F) Bb(F) C(C) Don't, Don't! F(F) Dm(F) Bb(F) C(C) (Here the bass mirrors the vocal melody - kinda an arpeggio of an F chord w/ some Bb's. Or you can play the chord root notes) F Dm Bb C I don't want to live in this world anymore F Dm Bb C I don't want to live in this world anymore F(F) Bb(Bb) So don't, don't, don't let's start F6(D) G7(G) This is the worst part F(F) F(D) I could believe for all the world G7(G) C7sus4(C) That you were my precious little girl F(F) Bb(Bb) But don't, don't, don't let's start F6(D) G7(G) I've got a weak heart F(D, C#) F(C) And I don't get around G7(B) C7sus4(C) how you get around F(F) (glissando up to the F6 note (starts from F4), then to A6, then end on an F chord, while the bass glides up from an F to C#)
