vieurd : the general chord progression is F – Csus4 – A#sus4 – F – Csus4 .
john seems strum the sixth string on the F chord and the fifth and
sixth strings on the Csus4 and A#sus4 somewhat lightly in order to
place emphasis on the guitar melody .

F
one , two
Csus4
i don’t love you .
A#sus4
three , four
F Csus4

one , three
stay away from me
five , seven
good children get nothing

the new day’s dawning and my hour’s arrived

one , two
i got things to do

* this is what he sings in the recording .
according to john , the final line actually goes

three fours lined up in a row
i got people to see , i got people that wanna see me

so that the last verse has A “one two three four”
except that the third one is “three fours , ” o young john tryna be all clever
