               My baby's poundcake...

Then you do the main riff again for the pre-chorus.  And for the "Uh-a...
A-huh-HUH!" part, do this:

|------------------------|--------------|------------------------|--------------|
|-14-16-----12-12---14-9-|-7/9-7/9--/12-|-14-16-----12-12---14\9-|--------------|

|-14-16---x-12-12---14\9-|-7/9-7/9--/12-|-14-16---x-12-12---14\9-|--------------|
|------------------------|--------------|------------------------|--------------|
|------------------------|--------------|------------------------|--------------|

--------------------|------------------------|--------------|-----------------|
9-9p7---7-7p5---5-5-|-14-16-----12-12---14\9-|-7/9-7/9--/12-|-----------------|
9-9p7---7-7p5---5-5-|-14-16-----12-12---14\9-|-7/9-7/9--/12-|-----------------|
9-9p7---7-7p5---5-5-|-14-16---x-12-12---14\9-|-7/9-7/9--/12-|-----------------|
--------------------|------------------------|--------------|-----------------|
--------------------|------------------------|--------------|-----------------|

--------------------------|-------------------------||

--------------------------|-------------------------||
--------------------------|-------------------------||

Then, after the solo, there's that part that goes "I've been out there,
tried a bit of everything.  It's all sex without love, I've found the
real thing is Poundcake!" then play this: (and then go to the main riff)
