(Spoken):
 
A7
 The preceding has been put here on tape,
To let you all know that I say it to her,
Because I love her can you dig it? Can you get to that?
Even when she's messin' around he likes having her around.
Even when she's messin' around, which is very often,
That's what she's doing; the motion...when she's messing around.
                                  A7, D7 (Fade)
Maggie May, Trusty Sue... the end.

This doesn't sound right - the verse chords sound more like Dom 9ths and the Chorus is Ddim, E flat 7, BFlatm/F, A flat 7, B flat 9th.

Great tab! Thanks for sharing. It's fun to make this song all barre chords, using the shapes of the Bb7 and F7 chords just moved up the fretboard.
