The verse is mostly just a slow burn on the F chord. Here's the
progression. Repeat it twice to complete the song's first (and
only!) verse.:
F F
F F
F G F G
A G
The spacing isn't exactly right, but you get the idea. I'm not
sure about the descending pattern at the end of the verse that
leads into the chorus but it appears to be just the bass. I
don't think the guitar itself descends on the record, but if you
want to follow the bass, the chords are F and E.
Now the chorus:
C F G
C F G
A G
Now for the very tasteful solo. The ps signifies a pick slide.
Use some delay, and some compressor wouldn't hurt either:

That's about it. The song starts on a few measures of F, then
the verse, chorus, solo, then the latter part of the verse
progression (F G F G A G), then the chorus twice and you're done!
Truly one of the more underrated classics of the 80's. Enjoy it!

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 REO SPEEDWAGON 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.
