This is what i've worked out as the acoustic version of Marilyn & Me from the Roland Sessions and 
Acoustic Vol. 1 cassette, it sounds right to me to play along acoustic. Sorry about the chords names but 
again it's the simplest way to recognise them as I don't know what they are. On the chorus I think
it sounds best to sort of palm mute the chords.
