Another great Setzer song (perhaps my favorite) This tab is based on Setzer's version on his solo album
"Nitro Burnin' Funny Daddy"; on this version, Setzer used a capo on the 2nd fret, but it is still in the key
 of A so if you prefer not to use a capo utilize that handy dandy "transpose" button and bump it up to "+2".
 Enjoy, and please comment any errors you find.
 
Also, Feel free to throw 7's on any A or D chord, either way sounds fine!
