The main riff on the E is as follows:
q q e e e q e q e e e e
|--------------------------------------------------------
|--------------------------------------------------------
|--------------------------------------------------------
|-2---2---2-2-4-5--4-5--4-5-4-5--------------------------
|-2---2---2-2-4-5--4-5--4-5-4-5--------------------------
|-0---0---0-0-0-0--0-0--0-0-0-0--------------------------
When it switches to A play:
|----------------------------------------
|----------------------------------------
|-2---2---2-2-4-5--4-5--4-5-4-5----------
|-2---2---2-2-4-5--4-5--4-5-4-5----------
|-0---0---0-0-0-0--0-0--0-0-0-0----------
|----------------------------------------
each of these riffs is two measures long(4/4 time sig.) and the
eighth(e) and quarter(q) notes indicate the approximate rhythm.
Now, the rest of the song....
intro: /E/E/riff on E/...
E
Oh, hello Mr. Soul I dropped by to pick up a reason
for the thought that I caught in my head is the event of the season
A E
Why in crowds just the trace of my face could seem so pleasin'
D Dsus4 D A Asus4 A E(no riff)
I'll cop out to the change, but a stranger is putting the tease on
(riff in E ...)
I was down on a frown when a messenger brought me a letter
I was raised by the praise of a fan who said I upset her
Any girl in the world could have easily known me better
She said "You're strange, but don't change;" and I let her
solo: /E/E/E/E/ (each / / is one measure of 4 beats)
/E/E/E/E/
/F/F/F/F/
/A/A/A/A/
/E/E/E/E/
/D/A/E/E/
