Tuning : open D
From low to high that is - D A D F# A D
So you can leave your A and D strings - all the others go down either
a semitone or a tone.
NOTE: For the verse and chorus I'll just put down the chord shapes once
each time the chord changes. Check out the record for details on strumming

Repeat this last line once
(p=pull off)
Then play the intro again, and into the second verse
Verse 2
I deal in dreamers and telephone screamers
lately I wonder what I do it for, if I had my way
I'd just walk out the door and wander
Down the Champs Elysees
Going cafe to cabaret
Wandering how I'd feel when I find that very good friend of mine
Chorus
repeat the last tab line of the chorus, as before, then go back
to the intro bit.
Play this four times, and that's it !
