this is the second song I learned to play on the guitar.  It's off of the
Joyride/Sick and Wrong 7" released around '93?  It's a joint International
Pop Underground/K records master.

It's done in bar chords, with that traditional "down-down-up up-down-up"
stroke method.

A			    D

Saturday I jotted down some words I thought

A	    E		D

All about a girl that I thought I loved

A				     D

It told the story of what we did and what went wrong

A		      E		     D

You've heard it all before; it's the same old shit

solo:

so I won't bore you with all the details
I'm sure that you can listen between the lines
I screwed her and she screwed me but we never once had sex
all we ever had was too much time

SOLO, then

----------------------------------
A				  \
				   \
love is just a joyride		    \
				     \
E				      \
				       \
drink a lot of beer and climb inside	\
					 \
D				 	  \
					   }  CHORUS
lay your foot down on the gas		  /
					 /
D					/
				       /
leave it there until you crash	      /
				     /
A      E      D      D		    /
				   /
love's just a joyride		  /
----------------------------------

A				    D

this part of the song is called the second verse

A			E		      D

it sounds just like the first verse, but with different words

A				       D

it only has three chords, and they are A, E and D

	 A     E     D

they are A and E and D

SOLO ("there goes the dm...D...uh, A, E, and D...)

CHORUS twice, then

AA  C#C#  DD  DD  BB  C#C# E!E! E!E!

this repeats, with Dug doing what he does best over top of it.
