RAMONES - "album" Tablature

Official RAMONES Tablature & Sheet Music »

Here is the Ramones first album powerchord masterpiece.
I left off Blitzkrieg Bop since it's been done to death.
For the full effect, play like Dee Dee and barre the fifth on your power chords
for depth. ( on a D, instead of -7- play -7- )
-7- -7-
-5- -5-
--- -5-
