PUSHING THE NEEDLE TOO FAR (Amy Ray)
------------------------------------
[Each chord is one 6/8 measure, except two chords joined by a hyphen are
 one measure _total_.]
[G=320033; C(9)=x32033; F6(9)=xx3233.  Use your index finger to hammer-on
 and pull-off a lot, whenever you feel like it.]

STRUMMING PATTERN:
 
[Amy Ray probably doesn't strum every measure exactly the same, but these are
 typical.  Note that this isn't the intro, or the chorus, or anything; it's
 just for illlustrative purposes.  ("d"=strum down, "u"=strum up.)]

      are accurate.

[The (8) on the B string in the second-to-last measure is only played the
 first time through, coming out of the solo.  After that, play the 2 on
 the G string.]
