This one is played behind most of the verses, during the 'G' chord.
The tab below assumes you're playing an open G (300023); just work
this pattern into your finger-picking, if any. It also sounds nice
when moved down an octave, but you need to go to dropped-D tuning.

My Gtelephone wakes me in the morning. Have to get up to answer the call,
So I Fthink I'll go Cback to the Gfamily, where Fno one can Cring me at Gall.
Living thiGs life has its problems, so I think that I'll give it a break.
Oh, FI'm going Cback to the Gfamily, 'cause I've Fhad about Call I can Gtake.
DMaster's in the counting house, Ccounting all his money.
DSister's sitting by the mirror, Cshe thinks her hair looks funny.
GAnd here am I thinking A#to myself, just a-Cwondering what it pays to Ddo.
Alternate D & C, then end on Asus2
I Gthink I enjoyed all my problems, where I did not get nothing for free.
Oh, FI'm going Cback to the Gfamily, doing Fnothing is Cbothering Gme.
I'll Gget a train back to the city. The soft life is getting me down.
There's Fmore fun aCway from the Gfamily, get some Faction when I Croll into Gtown.
DEverything I do is wrong. CWhat the hell was I thinking?
DPhone keeps ringing all day long, CI got no time for thinking.
GAnd every day has the A#same old way, they're Cgiving me too much to Ddo.
Solos (bass/flute, then guitar, then all fade) D C D C ...
