Teenage Kicks
Debut single by The Undertones in 1978 and although it only reached
Number 31 UK charts, this song is a punk/Rock classic. Became an all
Time favourite of Radio 1 DJ John Peel. Bass performance Michael Bradley
Tab by bass50611.  This what I played with my band so many, many times

Are teenage dreams so hard to beat
Everytime she walks down the street
Another girl in the neighbourhood
Wish she was mine, she looks so good
 
I wanna hold her wanna hold her tight
Get teenage kicks right through the night
 
I'm gonna call her on the telephone
Have her over cos I'm all alone
I need excitement oh I need it bad
And it's the best, I've ever had
 
I wanna hold her wanna hold her tight
Get teenage kicks right through the night
 
I wanna hold her wanna hold her tight
Get teenage kicks right through the night

Not sure about the bass ending on all these tabs. The run up to the last D on the A string sounds better to me if the same notes used in the song. Ie ending d d. Gg. G# A C# D

Or A C C# D

DD gg a g f# D
