a |-3--3----3-----0-----0h3-|-3--3----3---------------
E |---------------1---3-----|-------------------------

Note: This riff is not as difficult as it may appear.

Basically the riff is all on hammer-ons.  I've posted the chord
shapes to position your hands in to make the hammer-ons as logical as possible.
Also note that the progression repeats it self, I've tried to show this by
placeing a horizontal bar where the riff begins the repeats.


LYRICS 


(1) "Oh the night... here it comes again" 
It's on with the jeans, the jacket and shirt 
How'd I end up feeing so bad 
For (2) such a little girl 


(1) And I hold you close in the back of my mind 
Feels so good but damn it makes me hurt 
And I'm too scared to know how I (2) feel about you now
(1) Las cienega just smiled... "see ya around"
 

(1) And I hold you close in the back of my mind 
And raise my glass 'cause either way I'm dead 
Neither of you really help me to (3) sleep anymore 
(3) One breaks my body and the other breaks my soul 
(1)La cienega just smiles as it waves goodbye 

(4)

(1) "Oh the night... here it comes again" 
It's off with the jeans, the jacket and the shirt 
How'd I end up feeling so bad 
For (2) such a little girl 


(1) And I hold you close in the back of my mind 
Feels so good but damn it makes me hurt 
And I'm too scared to know how I (3) feel about you now 
(3) How I feel about you now
(1) La cienega just smiles and says, "I'll see you around"

(4)
