Dengue Fever Sober Driver Lyrics

Great song, fun song'to sing and to play'although it's not all that well known.
Here's what I'm hearing. It sounds 100% to me. Keep in mind, some parts are a bit tricky.
INTRO/INTERLUDE:
VERSE (listen for rhythm):
(notes: SEGMENTS 1 & 2 played staccato. It means each note is very short.
They are also somewhat palm-muted.
SEGMENTS 3 & 4, meanwhile, are played more legato; they can ring.)
SEGMENT 1:
SEGMENT 2:
SEGMENT 3:
SEGMENT 4:
Then play through VERSE a second time. All four segments are the exact same,
except SEGMENT 3. For the second time through (EACH time the verse is played), SEGMENT 2
plays like this:
|----12-------12-------12---------------------12-| (then onto SEGMENT 4)
CHORUS:
You call me up because I'm sober and you wanted me to drive
I'm getting tired of being treated as just a free ride
I've finally figured out that you're just a thorn in my side
(no chords)
That's withered, dull and dry
Then VERSE (twice), then CHORUS again, then INTRO/INTERLUDE before VERSE run-
through (with no lyrics), and finally CHORUS once more.
End on Am.
