You Really Got Me

Come in after the main riff has been played twice on guitar (main bass riff)

G --------------------------------------
D --------------------------------------    x10
A---------------------------------------
E -----1--3--3--1--3--------------------

this is the chorus part 1 ("yeah, you really got me goin..")

G --------------------------------------
D --------------------------------------    x4 
A --------------------------------------
E -----3--5--5--3--5--------------------

then for the 2nd part of the chorus ("oh yeah, you really got me"), play

G --------------------------------------
D --------------------------------------    x6
A -----3--5--5--3--5--------------------
E --------------------------------------

when the verse starts up again, there is a slide from 7 to 1 on the E. like this

G --------------------------------------
D --------------------------------------    x10
A---------------------------------------
E -----7/1--3--3--1--3------------------

After that it's just the same thing again. When the guitar solo comes in just play the main riff but slide into it like above.
