...and the Jim Morrison impersonator of the year is...
...Scott Weiland!! Great song but sounds A LOT like the Doors. But
they're great so who cares.
A little note about the chords: Be sure not to confuse the star
chords with the regular chords. Like F#m and F#m* are NOT the same
chord. I just use the stars because I don't know the names.
There are some strange chords in this song like in many STP songs.
If you think F#m* (244200) is uncomfortable to play you can play it
as (x44200), it still sounds good. If you do it the first way you
should use your thumb for the low E string.
INTRO:

VERSE 1:
--------
E F#m*
She lives in a bungalow
G* F#m* E
She kills me with rose garden thorns
F#m* G* F#m*
She waits for me
E F#m*
My love is unusual
G* F#m* E
It's painted with roses and thorns
F#m* G* F#m*
With her I'm complete

VERSE 2:

E F#m* G*
Visions of Mexico seduce me
F#m* E F#m* G* F#m*
It goes to my head so carefully

Memories of candles and incense
F#m* E F#m* G* F#m*
And all of these things remember these?

She lives by the wall and waits by the door

She walks in the sun to me

Ok, you play that last chorus many, many times with the picking,
I don't know exactly how many times you play it, just listen to
it. Then finally the outro is some strange instrument playing
something like:
E|--5-----2--3--2--0-----2--3--2--0-----2--3--2--0-----5--2--|
B|-----------------------------------------------------------|
G|-----------------------------------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------------------------------|
A|-----------------------------------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------------------------------|
Play that twice and fade out...
