Other Album: You Must Ask The Heart (Jonathan Richman) Words and Music by William H "Prez" Tyus Jr Copyright 1995 Rockin' Leprechaun Music Published by Rockin' Leprechaun Music Transcribed by Gavin Chart (contactus@gartfretsnet) NOTES: This was transcribed from the Jonathan Richman version on the above album I haven't been able to find the original "Prez" Tyus version Jojo's version is an instrumental I've broken it into sections and have included the timing in seconds [ - ] of the section of the recording to make it easier to follow The timing is 4/4; but the strumming is fast, in a jazzy scat sort of rhythm Count four beats to the bar and you'll be OK Listen closely to the record you'll hear what I mean Enjoy!
