Em   12th fret harmonics (highest 4 strings)
A   hammer on G string at second fret, pull off on D
          2nd fret repeat, moving up one octave.

Verse 1:
Em                         G
The leaves seen through my window pane
  D                 A               Em           G  D  A
Remind me that it's time to move my life again
Em              G
November sun is felt by none
  D                A
A chilly breeze has blown my thoughts
  Em               G  D  A
To what's to come
         Em                G
A cup of warm coffee, some vitamin C
  D                   A
A bowl for the cat, a bowl for the dog,
  Em            G  D  A
A bowl for me
          Em                G
Choose my bluest tape and unlock my car
   D                  A
An honest tune with a lingering lead
    Em            G     D  A
has taken me this far


Theme 2:
C          G          D
(increase tempo-swing time)
G             Am
G             Em
G             Am
Bm            Dm
G             Am
G             Em
G             Am
Bm            Dm (x4)


Repeat intro. without harmonics and hammer-ons, jam
over one verse, and repeat Theme 2 much faster.
Play intro. again before 2nd verse.

Verse 2:
On the edge of the porch in the warm evening night
Throwing the bone for the dog I see two passing lights
Well, I wonder where that driver's bound
Is there someone, somewhere, someway out there
That I've not found
A touch of smoke ain't what it seems
Dust and sunshine can also make my eyes look mean
But there's a brown cat sleeping through this day's show
Toppin' off the woodpile, breathing slow

(Theme 2)

For the final jam, commonly known as "Breathing Slow",
play the Bm  Dm riff from Theme 2 at a much slower tempo.
Mikey throws in the following signature lick:

    /        /         /       /
