 Note: the "oh yea" section is just an Am chord with the
       strings climbing chromatically underneath (E-F-F#-G).  I wrote 
       the chords out as Am-Am/F-Am/F#-Am7, though that is not
       technically correct.  If you want to play this on the
       guitar I suggest:
 
 
    Am     "Am/F"  "Am/F#"   Am7   
 
   -0-      -1-      -2-     -3-
   -1-      -1-      -1-     -1-       Notice this is just an 
   -2-      -2-      -2-     -2-       A minor chord held out with a
   -2-      -2-      -2-     -2-       chromatic movement on the high
   -0-      -0-      -0-     -0-       E string.
