Here is a better interpretation of I Wanna Be Sedated by the Ramones
than either of the ones that are currently posted on the mirrors site.

I W a n n a B e S e d a t e d

Artist: Ramones


Intro: E (2 measures) - slide into it from a D#

E B E
Twenty-twenty-twenty four hours to go I wanna be sedated

E B E
Nothin' to do and no where to go-o I wanna be sedated


B E
Just get me to the airport put me on a plane

B E
Hurry hurry hurry before I go insane

B E
I can't control my fingers I can't control my brain

A B
Oh no no no no no


Lead guitar picks 8th notes on the open high E string over E A B E
chords (1 measure each)



E (2 measures) - slide into it from a D#. Then it goes up a *full* step
to:

F# B F#
Twenty-twenty-twenty four hours to go I wanna be sedated

F# B F#
Nothin' to do and no where to go-o I wanna be sedated


C# F#

hopefully, that's enough explanation of this one.

Distort heavily, and make up your own lyrics as needed.
