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) Ebm/Bb Ab (xx1114@1)It just doesn't seem fair
B (x2444x@1) Ebm/Bb Ab (xx1114@1)To bug you 'cause you got long hair
B (x2444x@1) Ebm/Bb Ab (xx1114@1) F# (244322@1)Even the parents are beginning to stare
Post-chorus:
B [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' a riot
It's causin' ariot, (x02210@1)everywhere
People runnin' around, riots everywhere
Pushin', pushin', pushin' everywhere [fade]
