She had rings on her fingers and bells on her shoes. 3. In the thick of the evening when the dealing got rough, And I knew without askin' she was into the blues. She was too pat to open and too cool to bluff. She wore scarlet begonias tucked into her curls, As I picked up my matches and was closing the door, I knew right away she was not like other girls, other girls.

Notice that you are playing two notes at a time throughout the entire riff. Notice also that they are octaves! That's what gives bobby that funky sound in the tune. Oh and for those of you who say that Bobby plays a different part on "Mars Hotel"? Seriously though, Bobby started gravitating towards this really cool, funky part around the time they started coupling this song with Fire in early '77. Now even though these are octaves, play them as if the were chords, with a lot of varying of the slides and funky strums. Learn that riff verbatim, but be prepared, once you know it, to improvise around it. Bobby also had a way of playing it a bit on the sloppy side. not that he couldn’t play it clean, he was perfectly capable of doing so. It just gave the song a funky kind of feel and off set the more simplistic Jerry rhythm's and leads when Bobby played it "sloppy". Oh and when playing these octaves, try your best to mute the other strings, only strumming (well as much as you can at least) the two note octaves throughout the riff and song. In some of the other parts of the tune, when he isn't playing this riff, or a variation he fit into the changes, Bobby just played chords and chord fragments. When playing the octaves with the lows on the bass strings (In this case the E and the A strings) use your 1st and third fingers to fret the two note octave intervals. When you play the ones that have their law end on the G and the D string use your 1st finger (pointer)
