Verse 3:
Back to section ‘Verse 2’
BEWARE:
Some live versions of this song by the Cramps are played a semi-note higher (so in the
of F instead of the ‘studio-version-E’). The chords would be E -> F, B -> Bb and B -> C.
You can choose between these three options, if you wanna play the live version:
1. Play it in the key of F (with chords F, Bb and C). The single note’s would be a
bit harder because the 0-notes become 1-notes, which will ask more action by your fingers.
2. Use a capo, set it on the 1st fret, and play the studio-version.
3. Tune your guitar-strings up one semi-tone (be careful, there is more pressure on the
so they break much easier), and play the studio-version.
