[riff]
I was [riff] born in a cross-fire hurri[riff] cane
But it's [D]all [A]right [E]now, in fact, it's a [B]gas!
[riff]
I was [riff] raised by a toothless, bearded [riff] hag
But it's [D]all [A]right [E]now, in fact, it's a [B]gas!
[riff]
I was [riff] drowned, I was washed up and left for [riff] dead
I [riff] frowned at the crumbs of a crust of [riff] bread
But it's [D]all [A]right [E]now, in fact, it's a [B]gas!
[riff]
Drone out on B with the A string open, and alternately fingering the E string and leaving it open. This gives you the open-tuning feel of original in the outro. For an extra bit of flair, play this right before the D in the chorus instead of playing the last iteration of the riff:
A|--2--2--2--2--0--0--0--0--0
