Cars and trucks, drive by me on the corner when I'm alright, standing time before the signal When I see the light, I feel like more than just a number And I stand by you, or else we just don't see the others
3. Fill GGGAAAAA (3 times)
4. Intro (G and E) 4 times
5. Main Riff (8 times, last 4 with lyrics)
Bikes and vans, drive right by me on the desert but I'm alright, standing underneath the hot sun when I see the light, I feel like more than just a number and I stand by you, or else we just don't see the others
6. Fill (3 times) "computer age" (on third time)
7. Intro (4 times)
8. Middle part
DABmF# Precious metal lies, molded into highways GDGA Run through me DABmF# Days and nights, weeks and months and seasons GDGA Rolling through me
Lead over middle part (i tried to keep the timing)
I need you, to let me know if there's a heartbeat let it pound and pound, and I'll be flyin like a freebird you need me, like ugly needs a mirror and day by day, i guess our eyes are getting clearer
12. End with the intro (try E and G power chords up on 7 and 10)
There are bits of lead throughout the song but i'll leave that to you since I don't play them. Just make sure there's plenty of distortion on all guitars. Neil would want it that way.

We may kill you anyway to get your grass for our sheep if we run short. Anyone who tries to make us change our ways is a witch, and we will kill him. Stay out of our village.
