               My baby's poundcake... 
 
 
Then you do the main riff again for the pre-chorus.  And for the "Uh-a... 
A-huh-HUH!" part, do this: 
 
|------------------------|--------------|------------------------|-------------- 
|-14-16-----12-12---14-9-|-7/9-7/9--/12-|-14-16-----12-12---149-|-------------- 
|-14-16-----12-12---14-9-|-7/9-7/9--/12-|-14-16-----12-12---149-|-------------- 
|-14-16---x-12-12---149-|-7/9-7/9--/12-|-14-16---x-12-12---149-|-------------- 
|------------------------|--------------|------------------------|-------------- 
|------------------------|--------------|------------------------|-------------- 
 
 
 
--------------------|------------------------|--------------|----------------- 
9-9p7---7-7p5---5-5-|-14-16-----12-12---149-|-7/9-7/9--/12-|----------------- 
9-9p7---7-7p5---5-5-|-14-16-----12-12---149-|-7/9-7/9--/12-|----------------- 
9-9p7---7-7p5---5-5-|-14-16---x-12-12---149-|-7/9-7/9--/12-|----------------- 
--------------------|------------------------|--------------|----------------- 
--------------------|------------------------|--------------|----------------- 
 
 
 
--------------------------|-------------------------|| 
14-16-----12-12---14---16-|-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-|| 
14-16-----12-12---14---16-|-16-16-16-16-16-16-16-16-||  (to the solo; 
14-16---x-12-12---14---16-|-16-16-16-16-16-16-16-16-||   DON'T EVEN ASK!) 
--------------------------|-------------------------|| 
--------------------------|-------------------------|| 
 
Then, after the solo, there's that part that goes "I've been out there, 
tried a bit of everything.  It's all sex without love, I've found the 
real thing is Poundcake!" then play this: (and then go to the main riff) 
 
|-5-----------|-----------0-| 
|-5-4-----4---|-5-4h5p4---2/| 
|-4---4-----4-|---------4-2/| 
|-4-----4-----|-----------2/| 
|-2-----------|-----------0-| 
|-------------|-------------|
