The fifth track from the band's Astronaut album features longtime Duran Duran producer 
and Chic guitarist Nile Rodgers on guitar. And the fun thing about this song is that 
the riff below is practically the entire song! There are two more strokes of the B5 
chord every other time during the Chorus, and there is a part or two where the '5' 
chords aren't played after the main riff, but that's about it. 
 
Also remember to position the fingers of the first two chords like below, but only 
play the D, G, and B strings.
