This riff changes slightly, sometimes  changing to (2  3  4) instead of (2 3
3  4 4). When the verse comes in, play this:
   rhy.fig.2-

   G------2-------(3x)---------------------------------|
   D------2--------------------------------------------|

(rhy.fig.1))
The words fit into the music like this:
        
        I need a lady not somebody shady
        need someone to be close to 
        somebody cozy not somebody nosy 
        help me see my whole day through
        F#5
        someone to share the load
        A5
        somebody to walk the road I live on...live!(rhy.fig.1)
   
Basic chords for this part go like this:
    fill 1-
       F#5   A5       live on...live
