      This is a fun song to play, especially if you can master the riff.
It comes in at the intro, after the bass and horns, and pretty much continues for the whole song.
For a simplified version, just replace with chords: Am (4 bars) D (2 bars) Am (2 bars)

If you want to play it true to the studio version, play this riff on the lines in the verses which start:
"And my heart..." & "But just as black...", strum slowly down the Em & D chords & back to normal at Dsus4.

[Repeat x 2]

h   Hammer-on


[Verse]

Am
Well just the other night I come home
Am
After three months of constant grind and travel
Em                           D                                      Dsus4 D
And I went sniveling, I went crawling around to my girlfriend's house
Am
And she came down hard upon me
Am                                           Em
And she ground her finger into my breastbone, And she said
D         Am
She said: "You don't make me feel... like I'm a woman... anymore
Em                                    D            Dsus4 D
And you don't make me feel like I'm a woman any more
Am  N.C. 
You don't make me feel like I'm a woman any more
Am
And I know, I know it's been a long time
Em                   D                Dsus4 D
Seems like it's been go-ing on forever
       Am
And my heart, my heart is beating too big
    Em                       D                            Dsus4 D
It's beating too big for the space that's meant to hold it


[Chorus]

        Am
So good-night, goodnight my little lovely
      G                         Am
As we turn, as we turn down the lights
    Am                       G
Say good-bye, goodbye to the naked truth
     D                              Am
Your skin is looking weary and your eyes are closing down on the day


[Instrumental]

[Verse]

  Am
I know, I know it's been a long time
Em                   D               Dsus4 D
Seems like it's been going on forever
            Am
But just as black is white, yeah and just as night is day
    Em                               D                     Dsus4 D
The light is going to leave you, and you're gonna fade away


[Chorus]

        Am
So good-night, goodnight my little lovely
      G                         Am
As we turn, as we turn down the lights
    Am                       G
Say good-bye, goodbye to the naked truth
     D                              Am
Your skin is looking weary and your eyes are closing down on the day
