album "Loaded".  A somewhat simplified version, but play 
the D and G of the verse with a bluesy-type groove and mute 
the high E string in the D chord so that you can use that 
finger to give a pull on the D string which will simulate 
the G chord, but bend the G string with your third finger.  
DSomebody took the papers, and sDomebody's got the key
And sDomebody's nailed the door shut
Says hDey whatch'you think that you see?
But mGe, I'm down around the corner
you know I'm Glooking for Miss Linda Lee
Because sDhe's got the power, to love me by the hour
Gives me DW-L-O-V-E
HBmey Baby, you want it so fast  
DGon't you know that it ain't gonna last?
OBmf course, you know it makes no difference tGo me
Somebody's got the time-time(?), somebody's got the right
all of you other people, trying to use up the night
But me, I'm out on the corner--y'know I'm looking for...
