There's not much to this.  The sliding C# to D pattern is repeated
frequently between verses; the verses are built around D.

/ = slide up

Intro and between verses:

E--1/2-2---1/2-2-2-----------|

   OOO you're strange  Don't lame me baby strange Don't lame me baby

Lyrics (from liner notes on The Slider):

I see you walking, I see you talking
With all of my friends
I'm shadowed under, You're like some thunder
I wanna be your friend

I wanna call you, I wanna ball you
All night long
In winds of passion, My whip is lashing
I wanna get you and then

CHORUS:

        OOO you're strange
        Don't lame me baby strange
        Don't lame me baby

The city's shaking, I ain't faking
Baby this is the end
I'm overloaded, My head's exploded
I wanna get you and then

CHORUS


Notes:  The version on The Slider is in standard tuning.  The version
in "Born to Boogie" is a half step higher.  Marc Bolan doesn't use a
capo on this one, however, so he either tuned a half step higher or
the film maker (Ringo Starr!) sped it up a bit.
