intro:  B     D E,  B     E D x2 (see notes at bottom)

 
B                           D  E      B                         E  D       B  D E ,  B   E D
Let me take you baby,    down to the river bed
B                                            E                           B  B7. (or same as above)
Got to tell you somethin', go right to your head


G                     A                   B
Cause I got a line on you babe   (see note below for bg vox)
G          A         B
I got a line on you
 

(this verse maintains the riff all the way through it -- there no "line 3")
Gotta put your arms around me.    With every bit of your love
If you know what to do, I'll make love to you  Cause you got the right line to make it through these times

Chorus 


Main Lead is played over an E chord (7th fret) --Just hold the E chord thru the whole
sometimes sliding from the Eb.

Chorus

 

 
(back to the first verse pattern with a special "line 3")
B                           D  E        B                E      D  B
You know my winter's almost over. My summer, she's comin' on strong
B                          E                          B   B7
I can love you, love you, love you, love you all year long

 

Repeat Chorus
 
.. spoken:
I got a line on you babe


About the chorus with backgrounds (BGs) 
       G               A                          B
BGs    I               I got a line               I got a line on you babe
Lead      I got a li------ne        onnnn you, babe
 
The D's and E's are kinda sloppy middle strings on the 7th and 9th frets. I usuallythe second strike on the B's letting the first hit ring out. 

  B     D E    B     E D
