this is the second song I learned to play on the guitar. It's off of the
Joyride/Sick and Wrong 7" released around '93? It's a joint International
Pop Underground/K records master.

It's done in bar chords, with that traditional "down-down-up up-down-up"
stroke method.

A D

Saturday I jotted down some words I thought

A E D

All about a girl that I thought I loved

A D

It told the story of what we did and what went wrong

A E D

You've heard it all before; it's the same old shit

solo:

------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------
--------------4-----2---------------------2---1-------
------0---4---------------4---0---4---0-----------4---
---2--------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------1----------------------
---------------2---0-------2-----------0--------------
---0---4---0-----------4-----------2------------------
------------------------------------------------------

so I won't bore you with all the details
I'm sure that you can listen between the lines
I screwed her and she screwed me but we never once had sex
all we ever had was too much time

SOLO, then

----------------------------------
A \
\
love is just a joyride \
\
E \
\
drink a lot of beer and climb inside \
\
D \
} CHORUS
lay your foot down on the gas /
/
D /
/
leave it there until you crash /
/
A E D D /
/
love's just a joyride /
----------------------------------

A D

this part of the song is called the second verse

A E D

it sounds just like the first verse, but with different words

A D

it only has three chords, and they are A, E and D

A E D

they are A and E and D

SOLO ("there goes the dm...D...uh, A, E, and D...)

CHORUS twice, then

AA C#C# DD DD BB C#C# E!E! E!E!

this repeats, with Dug doing what he does best over top of it.
