During the verse Rod plays the lead over the strumming pattern.
Its almost the sqme in every verse.
It is something like this:

A [------------------------]
E [------------------------]
You will have to listen to the song to see the exact timing
of where these riffs fit in. Play riff 1, then riff 2
and then back to riff 1 again.
In verse 3 though, riff 1 is played then riff 2, but instead
of repeating riff 1 play this:
E [----------------------]
B [-16-16-16-16-16-16-16-]
G [----------------------]

Lyrics:
Aim for the body rare, you'll see it on tv
The worst thing in 1954 was the bikini
See the girl on the tv dressed in a bikini
She doesnt think so, but she's dressed for the h-bomb
For the h-bomb.
And i found that essence rare, it's what i looked for
And i knew i'd get what i asked for.
Aim for the country fare, you read it in the paper
The worst thing that happens any week, a scandel on the front page
See the happy pair smiling, close like they're monkeys
They wouldn't think so, but they're holding themselves down.
Hold themselves down.
And i found that essence rare, it's what i looked for
And i knew i'd get what i asked for.
And i found that essence rare, it's what i looked for
And i knew i'd get what i asked for.
Aim for politicians fair who'll treat your vote, hope well
The last thing that they'll ever do, is act in your interests
Look at the world through polaroid glasses
Things seem a whole lot better for the working classes
And i found that essence rare, it's what i looked for
And i knew i'd get what i asked for.
And i found that essence rare, it's what i looked for
And i knew i'd get what i asked for.

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP, representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are "hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the official IDLEWILD tablature which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route. These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the NY Times Article. We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
