Intro: G5 E5 C5 D5 2x
Verse 1
G5 E5 C5 D5
The sidewalk is rushing at my head again
G5 E5 C5 D5
I'm lying on the street in the rain and wind
G5 E5 C5 D5
From doing forward rolls down Avenue A
G5 E5 C5 D5
With my guitar on my back don't let it end this way
G5 E5 C5 D5 2x
G5 E5 C5 D5
Somehow I dialed my cell
G5 E5 C5 D5
I didn't know I could get service in hell
G5 E5 C5 D5
How quickly can you get here, don't know where I am dear
G5 E5 C5 D5
E5 C5 D5
Finally the world actually seems to be revolving around me
G5 E5 C5 D5
Chorus
G5 E5 C5 D5
Shoobie doobie doo-wap
G5 E5 C5 D5
I overdid it at the soda shop
G5 E5 C5 D5
Thanks for being my girl at the
G5 E5 C5 D5
"I don't know when to stop sock hop"
G5 E5 C5 D5 2x
G5 E5 C5 D5
You held my head over the edge of the bed
G5 E5 C5 D5
I remember it now but at the time I thought I was dead
G5 E5 C5 D5
You put a pan there and held back my hair
G5 E5 C5 D5
E5 C5 D5
How can I repay you for saving me and my hardwood floor
G5 E5 C5 D5
Chorus
G5 E5 C5 D5
Shoobie doobie doo-wap
G5 E5 C5 D5
I overdid it at the soda shop
G5 E5 C5 D5
Thanks for being my girl at the
G5 E5 C5 D5
"I don't know when to stop sock hop"
Bridge
G5 E5 C5 D5
And when the world stops spinning round
G5 E5 C5 D5
I picked the pan up off the ground
G5 E5 C5 D5
I read my up heaves much like tea leaves
G5 E5 C5 D5
They said it's over so get sober or you'll die
G5 E5 C5 D5
aaaaaa...
G5 E5 C5 D5
..gain
G5 E5 C5 D5
Chorus
G5 E5 C5 D5
Shoobie doobie doo-wap
G5 E5 C5 D5
I overdid it at the soda shop
G5 E5 C5 D5
Thanks for being my girl at the
G5 E5 C5 D5
"I don't know when to stop sock hop"
G5 E5 C5 D5 4x
end on G6

The picking he does is like this...
during the verse+bridge he simply doubles the basses and plays the notes of the middle
index finger
So a G would be:
e | ------ |
B | ----3- |
G | ----0- |
D | ------ |
A | ------ |
E | --3-3- |
At the end of each line he plays a D and what you hear is
e | ------- |
B | ----3-- |
G | -----2- |
D | -0-0--- |
A | ------- |
E | ------- |
...during the chorus the picking is like this -- i guess
e | -----3-----0---0----- |
B | ----0-----0---1------ |
G | ---0-----0---0------- |
D | -------------------0- |
A | -------------3------- |
E | --3-----0------------ |
And finally the G6 at the end is played like that:
e | --0--
B | --0--
G | -----
D | -----
A | -----
E | --3--
