ALICE COOPER
I'm eighteen

All fills and the solo goes on the E blues-scale. They look hard,
but they're really easy, 'cos I've been playing guitar for just 6 months,
and I got all these (except the main riff) just by listening to the record !
The chords in the verse goes like: E, C, D and C, D.
There's also an A, B, C, and D part, but it's marked on the lyrics.

Main Riff
     E5                              C5              D5

    Lines form on my face and hands
    Lines form from the ups and downs
    I'm in the middle without any plans
    I'm a boy and I'm a man

         Main Riff
    I'm Eighteen and I don't know what I want - Eighteen I just don't know
    what I want - Eighteen I gotta get away

    I've got an baby's brain and an old man's heart
    Took 18 years to get this far
    Don't always know what I'm talkin' about
    Feels like I'm living in a middle of doubt - 'Cos I'm

     Main Riff
    Eighteen I get confuzed every day - Eighteen I just don't know what to say
    Eighteen I got to get away !
