[RIFF] I was taught a month....
[lightly strum an A chord, getting gradually louder, then
forcefully hit A G]

I-I'm off to see the man Mulcahey, ...
Mulcahey (x4)
E G A
I was taught a month ago . . . .
E G A
To bide my time and take it slow . . . .
E G A
But then I learned just yesterday . . . .
E G A
To rush and never waste the day . . . .
E G A
Now I'm convinced the whole day long . . . .
E G A
That all I learn is always wrong . . . .
E G
And things are true that I forget . . . .
E G A------A G
Well no one taught that to me yet . . . .
E G A
I - I'm off to see the ....
Mulcahey (x4)
E E
I - I . . . . Mulcahey, I'm ...
E E
I - I . . . . Mulcahey, I - 'Cahey, 'Cahey . . . .
[SOLO over E G A (x4)]
[Continue solo and stuff along with E G A progression, and
fade out with refrains along the lines of:]
I - I . . . . I - . . . .
I - I . . . . I - . . . .
I - I'm off to see the man Mulcahey, I'm off to see the man
Mulcahey..... (BLAH BLAH BLAH.....)

That should hold you rascals for now!
(when I play this tune, I put an Asus4-A-Asus4-A quick
change at the verse ends that isn't necessary...Trey doesn't
play it, but if you're playing alone on a guitar - as I
usually do - it substitutes in for Page's piano fills.)
(Oh, and I didn't transcribe the solo because, well... I
don't have the patience, and I can barely solo anyway.
