Verse 3, 0:56-1:20
 
Here are the sections of ‘Intro’ and ‘Verse 1’ played together (so there are at least 2
at that moment, plus one for the feedback guitar.
 
 
Solo introduction 1:46-1:56
At 1:46, where they introduce the solo, just hammer like a geek on the E chord. Like this:
 
|---------------0-0-0-0-0-0--|--0-0-0-0-0-0---------------|
|---------------0-0-0-0-0-0--|--0-0-0-0-0-0---------------|

|---------------2-2-2-2-2-2--|--2-2-2-2-2-2---------------|
|---------------2-2-2-2-2-2--|--2-2-2-2-2-2---------------|
|--3--3—-0-—3---0-0-0-0-0-0--|--0-0-0-0-0-0---------------|
 
|--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-------|--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-------|

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.
