How Could You Want Him?(When You Know You Could Have Me)
Acoustic/Rhythm Chords Version
Spin Doctors-Album: Pocket Full of Kryptonite, 1991


For acoustic pattern I strum the chords twice(ish) for intro as 
written. Then one single chord strum over vocals, and back 
to twice(ish) between vocal phrases. Or play along with the good
Doctors & you'll get it. ;-)

If you are more of a picker there's a tab for riffs on this site
from a fellow tabber you might check out.

Note last line in vs.3 is slightly different in pattern w/vocal.
