JOSH HOMME: So let's have a good time, shall we?

Instead of playing the higher Dm chord (17,18,19), you can just play a regular Dm chord:

e|-5-|
B|-6-|
G|-7-|
D|-7-|
A|-5-|
E|-x-|

which fits better for the groove notes.
Repeat through the verse until the chorus.

Troy Van Leuween (Guitar) & Michael Schuman (Bass) enter.
Then the second verse repeats like the first, until the chorus,
which Troy plays identical as the first but adding an Am chord.

After this, a build section comes, where Troy plays the Dm chord while
Mikey throws some bass variations on the D chord. Some of those are:

[BREAK with Dm chord (Troy Van Leuween)]

As the song has built, Verse 3 comes with more strumming than before
from the guitar, until the chorus. Here, Mikey adds some groovy lines
after the A chord.
