Frank covered this song by
Daniel Johnston at his
acoustic shows for the
parachutes announcement.
First he plays till
the first bridge of
'she is the prettiest
girl at the party
and she can prove it
with a solid right hook'.
You end up on a G chord.
Strum this once, let it ring and
wait a bit for
the change to the intro.
(to figure out
the strumming to this:
https://youtu.be/SdCQV6IAuKg
it starts around 9:50min.)
I changed the text according
to Frank's interpretation.
After the cover you just
continue with prettiest girl,
as I indicated it by writing
the next line of those lyrics
at the very end.
