"What Girls Want" -- Material Issue

From the album _Destination Universe_

Written by:  Jim Ellison
Transcribed by:  Mike Novak


This is one of their more popular songs so I figured I'd add it here.
Use a lot of overdrive and [yes] WAH!  It's pretty straight forward,
just wail on it and have a good time!! :)


E  A  D  E             <--- use power chords =  E X799XX
E  A  D  E                                      A 577XXX
E  A  D  E                                      D X577XX
E  A  D  C  G  Em9                             C X355XX
                                             Em9 O22OOO

  E           A            D            E
I met her somewhere in the corner of my eye

  E            A          D          E
I keep her somehow in the back of my mind

   E           A              D           E
It wasn't long ago I tried to show her my affection

    E                 A                  D     E
She turned, looked at me, and ran in the other direction


[chorus:]

       E            A             D       E
I want love, I want drugs, I want sex and affection

       E                A            D          E
I want everyone in this room here to look in my direction

         E        A         D         E
I want a man with lips just like Mick Jagger

E             A         D                  E
Rod Stewart's hair, and Keith Richards' stagger

            E     A      D    E
That's what girls want

            E     A      D    E
That's what girls want

            E     A      D    C    G    Em9
That's what girls want


So I took her back home to my studio apartment
And that's where I told her exactly what my heart meant
I started to think, she threw it back in my face
I poured her a drink she said let's get out of this place

[chorus]

[bridge: (full chords, arpeggiate top notes)]

            Em9
That's what girls want...

            G
That's what girls want...

            Am9
That's what girls want...

            C
That's what girls want...

            Em9
That's what girls want...

            G
That's what girls want...

            Am9
That's what girls want...  (now back to power chords)

            C     D        E  A  D  E   E  A  D  E
That's what girls waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaant...


E  A  D  E

E  A  D  E

She came around and moved in three weeks later
We got a one room shack just north of the equator
With a giant stereo and a manic TV
Every once in a while she says these things to me

[chorus... repeat and fade]
