Use your middle and ring fingers to pick the D and G strings 
in the verse. 
Hold the pick between your thumb and your index fingers like normal. 
Use the pick to hit the bass notes in the verse and to  
strum and pick the notes in the intro and chorus. 
Play the chords like this. 
 
    B        G#m       C#m        F# 
e  |  -------   -------   -------   ------- 
B  |  -------   -------   -------   ------- 
G  |  --4-4--   --4-4--   --6-6--   --3-3-- 
D  |  --4-4--   --6-6--   --6-6--   --4-4-- 
A-2-----   ---6---   -4-----   ---4--- 
E  |  ---2---   -4-----   ---4---   -2----- 
 
Make sure you pluck and pick with a nice rock-a-billy feel to it. 
 
Here is the intro 
 
   G#m 
e  |  ---4-4---4---------------------------456---------- 
B  |  ---4--4--4---------------------------------------- 
G  |  ---4---4-4-3h433---------3h433-------------------- 
D  |  ---6-----6-------6------------6------------------- 
A  |  ---6-----6--------664h6--------664h6-------------- 
E  |  ---4-----4---------------------------------------- 

 
Try to make each note stand out just a little. 
Play the chords the way I showed for the verse. 
Here this the rest. 
 
B5 
I keep hearing your concerns  
G#5 
about my happiness. 
C#5 
All I throught you've given me was 
F#5 
a conchance I guess. 
  

B5 
If I were walking in your shoes 
G#5 
I wouldn't worry none. 
C#5 
While you and your friends are worried about me 
F#5 
I'm having lots of fun. 
 
For the Chorus It isn't hard to figure this out. 
 


 The G#m Thing 
e  |  ---4---4-4-4-- 
B  |  ---4---4-4-4-- 
G  |  ---4---4-4-4-- 
D  |  ---6---6-4-6-- 
A  |  ---6---6-4-6-- 
E  |  ---4---4-4-4-- 

 
 
 
Counting flowers on the wall 
That don't bother me all 
 
 
Playing solitare till dawn  
With a deck of fifty-one 
 
E5 
Smoking cigarettes and a watchin captain kangroo  
         F#5  
now tell me 
E5                 F#5 
I have nothing to do. 
 

B5 
Last night I dressed in tales pretending 
G#5 
I was on the town. 
C#5 
As long as i can dream it's hard 
F#5 
To slow this swinger down. 
 

B5 
Please don't give a thought to me 
G#5 
I'm really doing fine 
C#5 
You can always find me here 
F#5 
Having quite a time 
 
Chorus 

The solo is over the verse. 

I think you can trust axehappy with his solo 

It sounds right. 
 

B5 
Well it's good to see you I must go 
G#5 
I know I look a fright. 
C#5 
Anyway my eyes are not  
F#5 
A custom to this light. 
 

B5 
And my shoes a not a custom 
G#5 
to this hard concrete 
C#5 
so I must go back to my room 
F#5 
and make my day complete. 
 
Chorus 

Play the intro as the outro.
