Several ways to do this:

e--------------------55555xxx-11111xxx

B--55555xxx-55555xxx-55555xxx-11111xxx--

G--55555xxx-55555xxx-55555xxx-22222xxx--

D--55555xxx-55555xxx-77777xxx-33333xxx--

A--33333xxx-22222xxx-77777xxx-33333xxx--

E--------------------55555xxx-11111xxx--

Or:

B--11111xxx-11111xxx-11111xxx-----------

G--00000xxx-00000xxx-22222xxx-22222xxx--

D--22222xxx-22222xxx-22222xxx-33333xxx--

A--33333xxx-22222xxx-00000xxx-33333xxx--

E-----------------------------11111xxx--

I think the top one sounds more like the way he plays it. He also doesn't always

hit the higher strings, so focus on the lower ones.

Ending:

Ok, here is the definitive version of this fucking lick. Go ahead, its the right one.

Lyrics:

The say Taylor was a good girl

Never one to be late

Complain express ideas in her brain

Working on the night shift

Passing out the tickets

You're going to have to pay her

If you want to park here

Well Mommy's little dancer's

Quite a little secret

She's working on the streets now

Never going to keep it

It's quite an imposition

And now she's only wishin'

That she would have listened

To the words they said

Poor Taylor

She just wanders around

Unaffected by the winter winds air

She pretends that she's somewhere else

So far and clear

2000 miles from here

Peter Patrick pitter patters on the window

And Sunny's silhouette won't let him in

And poor old Pete's got nothin

Cuz he's been fallin

But somehow Sunny knows

Just where he's been

He thinks that singing on Sunday's gonna save his soul

Now that Saturday's gone

And sometimes he thinks that he's on his way

but I can see that his brakelights are on

He just wanders around

Unaffected by the winter winds air

And he'll pretend that he's somewhere else

So far and clear

bout 2000 miles from here

When Taylor finds a better world

Taylor's gonna run the world

She's such a tough enchalada

Filled up with nada

Given what she gotta give to get a dollar bill

used to be limber chicken

Time has been a ticken

Now she's finger licken to the man

with the money in his pocket

Flying in his rocket

Only stopping by on his way to a better world
