                                                                Butt-head )
        Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

Some notes.. and back to Rhythm 1

        I spot a little thing and I followed her all night
        In a funky pair of levis and her sweater's kind of tight
        She had a west coast strut that was as sweet as molases
        But what really knocked me out was her cheap sunglasses

        Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah (with Rhythm 2)

(solo)  F/G   E/G   F/G   E/G   (clean axe and tremello axe)
        F/G (303211@1) E/G (322100@1) F/G (303211@1) E/G (322100@1)        Cm (x3101x@1)Cm (x3101x@1)/  Bb/ (x1333x@1) Cm/ (x3101x@1) Dm- (xx0231@1)D (xx0232@1) (done with double hammer-on's)

        Some notes..
        Back to Rhythm 1

        Now go out and get yourself some big black frames
        With the glass so dark thay won't even know your name
        And the choice is up to you cause they come in two classes
        Rhinestone shades and cheap sunglasses
        Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah  (with Rhythm 2)

        Gm boogie defines Rhythm 3!

        Slow down and off..
