SOMETHIN' ELSE/ PISTOL PACKIN' MAMA
SUPERSNAZZ (1969)
This song is a medley consisting of two tracks merged
together. The tracks being "Somethin' Else" written by
Eddie Cochran and transitioning to "Pistol Packin' Mama" by 
Al Dexter. Two excellent classic rock n' roll tracks. 

(bass intro)

A            A./A.
Hey-ah there

Wanted to date her since I don't know when 
A
But she don't notice me when I pass
G
She goes with older guys from out of my class
A                              G 
But that can't stop me from-ah thinkin' to myself 
C                           D   (slide from C up to D barring the chords)
She's sure finelookin' man 
                         A././././././
She's somethin' else

Hey look-ah there
                  D././
Across the street
D 
There's a car made just for me
D
To own that car would be a luxury
A
But right now I can't afford the gas
G
A brand new convertible is out of my class
A                           G                         D
But that can't stop me from-ah thinkin' to myself 
                               D
That car's finelookin' man
                      D././            A
It's somethin' else

A                D././
Hey look-ah here
                  D././
Just wait and see
D
Workin' hard and savin' my dough
D
I need that car that I've be wanting so 
A
Get me that girl and we'll go ridin' around
G
look real sharp with the white top down
A                               G 
I'll keep right on and dreamin' and-ah thinkin' to myself 
                       D./   
if it all comes true 
                          D././

Hey Look-ah here
                  D././

D 
Never thought I'd do this before
D
But here I am ah-knockin' on her door 
A
My car's out front and it's allmine 
G
A '41 Ford not a '69
A                   G
I got that girl and I'm-ah thinkin' to myself
