This needs an alternative tuning : double dropped D.

If you've never tried out other tunings, don't worry - this one is
dead easy.  

The strings are tuned (low to high ) : D A D G B D


Starting from normal tuning, take the pitch of the bottom E down a bit.
Pluck it together with the 4th string (D) and slowly tune the low E down 
until the two strings are in tune (i.e an octave apart - both at D).

Now pluck top and bottom strings together - slowly tune the top E down until
the top and bottom strings are in tune. You should end up with the 1st, 4th 
and 6th strings all at D.

Verse

(I'll just write out the chord shapes - on the original version
one guitar part picks out the chord string by string. Or you can
just strum away ...)

my cinnamon girl



Then do two lots of riff1.
Verse 2 has the same chord sequence, ending with another riff2.
Then do two more riff1s

Then the middle 8 



Middle 8 :
--------------


 Cadd2     Am11  Cadd2           Am11     

Pa send me money now I know I'll make it somehow


Cadd2    Am11  Gm7

I need another chance


Gm7                          Am7

You see you're baby loves to dance yeah, yeah, yeah ...



The Gm7 and Am7 chords are like this :


DADGBD   DADGBD
553333   775555


 Gm7       Am7




After this middle 8 comes the solo over the same chord sequence 
as the verse (i.e D5, Am11, Cadd2, G5 then riff2).


End with :



D---5--7--5--7------------------------------------

G---5--7--5--7------------------------------------
D---5--7--5--7-----------------------------------
