Rhythm figure 1a
As above, except for measures 5 and six substitute the following second guitar
part:
E---------------------3---|---2-------------------|
B-5--7--5---7--7------5---|---3----5-----3----3--5|
Then begin the vocal "I don't care if Monday's blue..." with another run-through
of rhythm figure 1 underneath. Repeat this through the second verse "Monday you
can fall apart..." (The book calls this rhythm figure 2 but I can't see any
difference). Chorus ("Saturday, wait...")
(let ring)

(measures 5-8 of rhythm figure 1 (yes, both guitars)) Third verse ("I don't care
if Monday's black") Rhythm figure 1 (both guitars) Instrumental break
Rhythm figure 1 beneath, both guitars; a third guitar (uncapoed, I think) plays
rhythm figure 3 (more of a lead, actually)

Begin 4th verse in that last measure-"Monday you can hold your head..." along
with rhythm figure 1 Chorus again, then the coda ("Dressed up to the eyes...")
Guitar 1 plays measures 5-8 of rhythm figure 1 four times Guitar 2 plays this
underneath:

Play rhythm figures 1 and 1a twice under 5th verse ("I don't care if Monday's
blue") On outro play 1 and 1a twice; over the second time add rhythm figure 3 On
first repeat end rhythm figure 1, guitar 2, this way:
B-------------3--2-------|
G---2--0-------------4---|
On second repeat end the song in last measure by holding all chords from measure
7.
