I don't know if I saw you if I would kiss you or kill you Or, if you want the descent in the bass (which is probably better on a single guitar): The Am (Bm with capo 1st fret) could also be played F (G) In the 1st-fret version I have included the chords to the whole verse. In the 3rd position there are two suggestions, one which is more or less what is played by the band, the other a version which is more suitable for a single guitar. I have given suggestions for the main riff in those two positions. In the version that has been available to me (Austin, 20 April 2003) it sounds as if the two different guitars are in two different capo positions: the main rhythm guitar at the 3rd fret and the other at the 1st fret. The basic structure of the song is the same as the album version, but a new riff has snuck into the first part, with the chords in the descent coming twice as fast and with an extra turn at the end. ![]() New arrangement during the 2003 southern US tour.
