You can pretty much just play the power chords on this throughout the whole
thing. For E you can simply play an Em if you like. If you're just playing the
chords/rhythm guitar, you're mostly sticking to the top 2-3 strings anyhow. There
are double hits and other small bits - just listen to the recording for those.
I'm only including the chord changes. Enjoy! T.

The general pattern of the song remains unchanged for the most part and goes
something like this (without accents, etc.):

E  (4x)  
G   A   A-B-C   B    E 


Here's the song:

E                                      
Tell us what you're gonna do tonight, mama

E
There must be some place you can go 

E
In the middle of the tall drinks and the drama

E
There must be someone you know

G
God knows, you're lookin' good enough
but you're so smooth and the world's so rough

A
You might have somethin' to loose

A-B-C
Oh, no, pretty mama, 

B                              E
what you gonna do in those shoes 

E
Got those pretty little straps around your ankles 

E
Got those shiny little chains around your heart

E
You go to have your independence 

E
but you don't know just where to start

G
Desperation in the singles bars 
an' all those jerk-offs in their fancy cars

A
you can't believe your reviews

A-B-C
Oh no you can't do that 

B                                  E
once you started wearin' those shoes 

(solo - same pattern)


Bridge: played very quietly until the G

E
They're lookin' at you, leanin' on you 

E
Tell you anything you want to hear 

E
They give you tablets of love 

E
They're waiting for you, got to score you 

E
Handy with a shovel and so sincere 

E
Ooh, they got the kid glove 

G
You just want someone to talk to 
They just wanna get their hands on you 

A
You get whatever you choose 

A-B-C
Oh, no, you can't do that 

B                                  E
once you started wearin' those shoes

A-B-C
Oh, no, you can't do that 
B                                  E
once you started wearin' those shoes

E pattern until end.
