I play the intro like this: G C F F G G C F F Am G Not sure if the Am is right, but I like it!

Am Well can't you see me standing here, Am Am/G F F C Dm7 I've got my back against the record machine F F C Dm7 I ain't the worst that you've seen. Gsus Oh can't you see what I mean ?

It’s really good but the intro is: G/C C F/C F/C G/C G/C C F/C F/C C/F Gsus4 x2. You do this for the first part of the drumming but at the second part, it’s: F/C F/C F/C F/C (all third inversion) C F/C F/C F/C C/F Gsus4
