From: ** (Andrew Rogers) OK, here's one of my favorite alienated rants. It came out in late '66, but my bar band used to do it as late as '75 - with me alternating between organ, guitar, and tambourine, while barking the lead vocal at the same time. Note: the rhythm guitar is tuned down a minor third; the key riff of the verses is played F#-E but sounds Eb-Db.
