Hey Chris, remember this one? Anyone? This is the "runnerup" to my favorite Searchers song. Written by Jackie DeShannon, it's got a nice little "hook" and beat to it.
Note, the last couple of notes of the Intro and the "E-Fill" overlap with the first words of the following line of the verse.
On the last line of each verse indicated by "E (..downstrums..)", try hitting only the base strings of the E chord. Pretty cool.
Here's a youtube version by latter day Searchers (without Mike Pender): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=np1sBnJUShg
A lotta' fun to play!
