Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

My new purple shoes

 'bin amazing the people next door

And my rock'n'roll 45's

 'bin enraging the folks on the lower floor

I got a way with the girls on my block

 Tryin' my best be a real individual

And when we go down to Smokies and rock

 They light up like it's some kinda ritual

Chorus

[Em and Am, each chord = 5 fast strokes, 3 rest, repeat:]

 [ /////xxx/////xxx /////xxx/////xxx ]

Ooh give me a good guitar

 and you can say that my hair's a disgrace

or just find me an open car

I'll make the speed of light out of this place

I like the good things in life

 But most of the best things ain't free

 This insane situation just cuts like a knife

 When you 're young and you're bored and you're crazy

Chorus

Ooh give me a good guitar

 and you can say that my hair's a disgrace

or just find me an open car

I'll make the speed of light out of this place

[piano outro segues into Flick Of The Wrist, ending with the D7 x 8 from just

before first chorus works well]
