2. She had rings on her fingers and bells on her shoes. And I knew without askin' she was into the blues. She wore scarlet begonias tucked into her curls, I knew right away she was not like other girls, other girls.

3. In the thick of the evening when the dealing got rough, She was too pat to open and too cool to bluff. As I picked up my matches and was closing the door,

I had one of those flashes I'd been there before, been there before.

Well there ain't nothing wrong with the way she moves, Or scarlet begonias or a touch of the blues.

And there's nothing wrong with the look that's in her eyes, I had to learn the hard way to let her pass by, let her pass by -> Riff 2

What follows was ripped off from: http://www.angelfire.com/music3/TwoDjinn/ Scarlet Begonias: Bobby Intro: Note: he plays off this intro through most of the song, including that little Spanish sounding ending part after "...everybody's playin' in the Heart of Gold band, Heart of Gold Band."

Okay so for the Bobby intro, here's what ya do. Notice that you are playing two notes at a time throughout the entire riff. Notice also that they are octaves! That's what gives bobby that funky sound in the tune. Oh and for those of you who say that Bobby plays a different part on "Mars Hotel"? Seriously though, Bobby started gravitating towards this really cool, funky part around the time they started coupling this song with Fire in early '77. Now even though these are octaves, play them as if the were chords, with a lot of varying of the slides and funky strums. Learn that riff verbatim, but be prepared, once you know it, to improvise around it.
