Wake Up (Next To You) Graham Parker

I think this is a vamp essentially on A and Dmaj7 which are probably the main chords

in "Must be my imagination" quoted near the end.

 

To my ears it sounds as though the intro is something like this.

 

Hit the A string         A6    (pull off to)    A/E        A

                         xx2222               xx2220     x0222x
