 ===================


  The rhythm basically plays G - C, A - F - B all the way through.
  I personally play them as open chords whenever possible and they
  sound right, although I know Frank Black seems to use barre on
  most songs. I've got the leads and the song in more detail below.


                                            C
      Her head is in a bitter way


     A               F   B                       = RHYTHM (Frank
 e|--0-----------------------------------------|           Black)
 B|--2-----------------------------------------| 
 G|--2---------------/10--8\-------------------| = LEAD   (Joey

    1. She's just lookin for the perfect wave
    2. I'll think of her when I walk the strand on this

  Her head is in a bitter way
  Her brain's on fire
  She's just lookin' for the perfect wave
  It's her brain's desire
  I'll think of her when I walk the strand on this
  True hermosa night-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

  Ed, is, dead
  Ed is dead
  Ed, is, dead uh-huh uh-huh
  Ed is dead

  She's just rotting in stupid bliss
  With music on her bars
  Her face burning in the L.A. son
  She got no, got no fear of cars
  I'll dedicate my strength, cruiser
  To the memory of a whore oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

  Ed, is, dead
  Ed is dead
  Ed, is, dead uh-huh uh-huh
  Ed is, yeah Ed is

  Ed, is, dead
  Ed is, yeah Ed is
  Ed, is, dead uh-huh uh-huh
  Ed is.....

  Ed, is, dead
  Ruh-erraa-aheyihyihyihyih
  Ed, is, dead
  E-I-D, E-I-D
  E-I-D, no-no-no-no no
