Verse:

	 B (x2444x@1)I'd go down to the Strip tonight
	I'm not on astay-home (x02210@1)trip tonight
	Long hair seems to be the main attraction
	But the heat is causing all the action

Pre-chorus:

	Am (x02210@1)     G (320003@1)   Am (x02210@1)  C (x32010@1)Bright lights everywhere
	 F# (244322@1)    G (320003@1)       Am (x02210@1)        C (x32010@1)Pretty girls with long blonde hair
	F# (244322@1)     G (320003@1)     Am (x02210@1)      C (x32010@1)       G (320003@1)  F# (244322@1)But somehow the people   they don't care

Chorus:

	    B (x2444x@1) D#m/A#        G# (xx1114@1)It just doesn't seem fair
	    B (x2444x@1)              D#m/A#     G# (xx1114@1)To bug you 'cause you got long hair
	 B (x2444x@1)    D#m/A#    G# (xx1114@1)             F# (244322@1)Even the parents are beginning to stare

Post-chorus:

	 B (x2444x@1)[continue with intro riff]
	Because of the sirens on our streets
	They used to be neat
	But now it's just aplace (x02210@1)for black and white cars to race
	It's causin' ariot (x02210@1)	It's causin' ariot, (x02210@1)yeah

[guitar solo over intro riff, 8X]

[repeat pre-chorus]

[repeat chorus]

[repeat post-chorus]

Coda [ranted over intro riff]:

	It's causin' ariot (x02210@1)	It's causin' ariot, (x02210@1)everywhere
	People   runnin' around, riots everywhere
	Pushin', pushin', pushin' everywhere [fade]
