         (Loud slide played at the beginning of the song)

At the start of the song, play the slide and then Fig. 1 twice.
Then start Verse 1:

E5  /                                   / //
      Quittin' after one more last one.      Tired of playin' the clown.
E5  /                                     / //
      If I want your opinion I'll ask ya.      I can get myself down.
E5  /        G5 E5   A5      / G5  D5                A5    G5   E5
      Night driving without headlights,      wearing sunglasses too.
E5  /        G5  E5    A5          / G5  D5          A5     G5
     Looking good, but sure don't feel right.    Anything to be cool.

After the final G5 power cord of the verse, slide down to the low
E on the sixth string and start Fig. 1 again, playing it twice and
then continuing on with the second verse: (same chords as first)

     Doin' hopscotch with my legs tied,  jumpin' rope in wet cement.
     Black leather in midday sunshine.  All you mother's money spent.
     Doin' time on the metal detector.  I'd like to drown in your pool.
     Covering up everything that's defective.  Anything to be cool.

The only change is that a new twist is added during the phrase
      'all you mother's money spent'  it goes something like this:

E-|---------------------------|
B-|---------------------------|
G-|---------------------------|
D-|----7b9--5--------2--------|
A-|------------7-----2--------|
E-|---------------5--0--------|

After this verse, go back into Fig. 1 with the following lyrics,
and midway through switch to the chords:

     A burning heart could be so cool.
                        A     Asus4  A
     Won't you be my fashion  vic - tim?
      G          G   C5 A5   G5
     Come on I'm an April   fool for you.

And slide down again into this break:

E-|-----------------------------|---------------------------------|
B-|-----------------------------|---------------------------------|
G-|--------------------------2--|--7-7h9--------------------------|
D-|--------------------------2--|--------10h11-10h11-10h11vvvvvv--|
A-|---------7-5--4-----------0--|---------------------------------|
E-|-0-0-0-0--------7--5-0-------|---------------------------------|
                                  Improvise over this second measure
                                  six times before going on, with
                                  another guitar improvising over
                                  the next figure:

                                 E-|----------------------|
                                 B-|----------------------|
                                 G-|----------------------|
                                 D-|-2-2--------2-2-------|
                                 A-|-0-0--------0-0-------|
                                 E-|-----0-3-4------0-3-4-|


After this, we go back to a structure much like verse 1:

E5 /                                        / //
     Holdin' on to what's left of real life.    Anything to be cool.
E5  / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / /
     Anything to be cool
E5  / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / /
     Anything to be cool
E5  / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / /
     Anything to be cool

Then slide back down into Fig. 1 as before:

     A burning heart   Like an April fool.
                        A     Asus4 A
     Won't you be my fashion vic - tim?
      G       Gsus4 G  C5 A5  G5
     Come on I'm    an April fool.
              A       Asus4  A          G       Gsus4
     I'm a midspring snow - fall.   Joke's on you.
     G      C5 A5 G
     I'm an April fool for you.

And then repeat Fig. 1 six times over the remaining lyrics:

I'm______________ an April fool for you.   I'm an April fool
I'm______________ an April fool for you.   I'm an April fool
I'm______________ an April fool for you.   I'm an April fool

And finish strong on an E5 power chord.
