Intro- mute strings at the 5th fret in an Amaj barre chord and chop away!
:)-------------------------------------------------------------------
*Graham uses his thumb over the E string to play the chords. But, if you
have small hands like myself, simply barring them works fine.
\ = slide down

then play Bb using this pattern:

G----3---X---3---X--------
D----3---X---3---X--------
A----1---X---1---X--------

after playing Bb, go back to the A chord (without beginning with the
slide down from the 12th fret)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok, right *before* Damon sings "...and when she lets me slip away",
the A chord is played something like this:
A
e-----5---5---5---5---5---5---5---5---5---
B-----5---5---5---5---5---5---5---5---5---
G-----6---6---6---6---6---6---6---6---6---
D-----7---7---7---7---7---7---7---7---7---
A-----7---7---7---7---7---7---7---7---7---
E-----5---5---5---5---5---5---5---5---5---
I *think* the chorus is: C, Bm, Am, F (quick chord change to G, quick change to Am), F, Fm C, Bm, Am, F (quick chord change to G, quick change to Am), F, Fm ...then go back to the verse
As for the little riff thingy, this is a really rough guess at it-
(The chords played under it are the same as the verse)

Beetlebum, what you done?
she's a gun,
Now what've you done?
beetlebum
Get nothing done,
you beetlebum
just get numb,
now what you've done
beetlebum
and when she lets me slip away
She turns me on all my violence is gone
nothing is wrong,
She turns me on
I just slip away and now I am gone
Beetlebum
Because you're young
she's a gun,
now what you've done?
beetlebum
she'll suck your thumb,
she'll make you come
Coz she's your gun,
now what you done?
beetlebum
he's on, he's on, he's on it, he's on, he's on, he's on it...........
