Biografía:
Dressed in leather, brandishing heavy guitars, and exhibiting an unabashed fetish for British Invasion pop, the Smithereens were an anomaly in the American college rock scene of the late '80s. Lead singer/songwriter/guitarist Pat DiNizio stood out not only with his strange beatnik goatee, but also because his catchy hooks were haunting, not punchy, and because his lyrics were morose. As time wore on, the group became more straightforward, turning into an excellent bar band, one that attacked pop songs with the weight of AC/DC.

Great song! The original is in Eb, if you want to play along, just tune down a
half step. The kick-in-the-pants here is the D to Em. At the start of the verse,
the beat is on the 3 and the 4 of the bar. The other D to Em (I've indicated by
parentheses) the beat is on the "and 4 and" (8th notes) of the bar.

She had hair like Jeannie Shrimpton back in 1965

If she asked me to I'd murder, I would gladly lose my soul
