I'd like to be, under the sea, but I'd prob-bly need a phone
[NOTE: chorus could also simply be played D E G A D E G A D]

Musical Interlude **(actually uses the same chords and strum pattern
as the verses)
-----------------
D Dsus4 D Dmaj7 Dsus2 Dmaj7 D7 D7sus4 D7 G
[NOTE: listen to the song to hear the r(h)ythm of the above part]
**(I do not know if the version I have is the same as the one he is
talking about. It is from the "Supersonic" single but it is not a
bootleg.)
[ANOTHER NOTE: this musical interlude is played as written above only on
this unplugged Oasis bootleg I have, not on the recorded version. Try it,
though. It sounds pretty cool.]
Repeat Verse 1, play the lead-in to the pre-chorus just like after Verse
2 earlier in the song
