The whole song is simply power chords. Listen to the recording from Dan
Crevier's "The Boingo Page" in the rare songs section. Remember to palm
mute as well.
Main riff
E - B#-B-A - E - F#
E - B#-B-A - E - G-G-A-A
This repeated throughout the song which then jumps into chorus when Danny
is singing
A - G - A - B#
A - G - A - B#-C#
for the second time this is played with
Ab - Gb - Ab - B-C
When Danny is not singing use
A - Ab - G - A - F
A - Ab - G - A - F-B
There is also an interlude part that come after the trombone solo. A
slight variation on the main riff that simply goes
E - D - E - F#
E - D - E - G-G-A-A
That is it those are the chords necessary to play the song. Timing is up
to you.
Chords (low to high)
E = X-7-9-9-X-X------|
B# = 8-10-X-X-X-X----|
B = 7-9-X-X-X-X------|
A = 5-7-X-X-X-X------|
F# = X-10-12-12-12-X-|
