Here is a better interpretation of I Wanna Be Sedated by the Ramones
than either of the ones that are currently posted on the mirrors site.

Lead guitar picks 8th notes on the open high E string over E A B E
chords (1 measure each)

E (2 measures) - slide into it from a D#. Then it goes up a *full* step
to:

F# (244322@1)                                    B (x2444x@1)             F#Twenty-twenty-twenty (244322@1)four hours to go     I wanna be sedated

     C# (x43121@1)                    F#Just (244322@1)put me in a wheelchair get me to the show

C# (x43121@1)                 F#Hurry (244322@1)hurry hurry before I gotta go

   B (x2444x@1)         C#Oh (x43121@1)no no no no no

F# (2 measures)

Repeat last verse, then:


F# (244322@1)                 B (x2444x@1)            C# (x43121@1)            F#Ba-ba-bamp-ba (244322@1)    Ba-ba-ba-bamp-ba     I wanna be sedated

repeat and let F# ring to end
