Verse 2
-------
You need to be yourself
You can't be no one else
I know a girl called Elsa
She's into Alka-Seltzer
She sniffs it through a cane
on a supersonic train
And she makes me laugh
I've got her autograph
She done it with the doctor
On a helicopter
She sniffed it in a tissue
Selling the big issue
Pre-chorus 2
------------
When she finds out
'cos no one's gonna tell her what I'm on about
You need find a way for what you wanna say
But before tomorrow
Chorus
Improvise on solo until the song fades (Noel uses very basic riffs using
basically the same few notes here, so it should be easy to figure out)
