B-E (barred seventh) B C#m A E
then thereafter just play
MI SI DO#m LA MI
for the rest of the main body of the song ad infinitum.
But BUT BUT a there’s a little pull-off hammer-on with the little finger
(when form your C#m-A chords) which provides the (basically) optional
transition note between these two chords, regardless of whether you're
listening to the version by the Stone, Better Midler or Buckwheat Zydeco.
This takes some listening to the record to figure out where this comes in.
But basically, you go from E-A-C#m, but after you get to the C#m (formed as
a barre at the fourth fret) and you’ve strummed it a few times, you pull
off -- and then hammer on -– the little finger of your C#m chord when
forming the C#m chord on the fourth string. Then you go into the A chord
and strum it twice to finish off the rest of the measure.
So basically, for the main body of the song you're playiing:
MI SI DO#m LA
with all the rest of the little hooky extras on the B-E and C#m thrown in.
The chorus is chorded as follows:
DO#m
Am I hard enough?
MI
Am I rough enough?
DO#m
Am I rich enough?
MI
I'm not too blind
SI
To see-eeeeeee
Then just continue with E-B-C#m-A for the main body of the song until you
get to the additional choruses or your lead guitarist keels over from a
lead guitar playing god hard-on. You lead guys on on your own. I’m a rhythm
guitarist.
