Artist: Blondie
Song: I'm On E
Composers: Debbie Harry, Chris Stein
Album: Plastic Letters
Year: 1978

Notes
1 - The lyrics are not about drugs, 
but are about Debbie's car having no
 fuel left in the tank
(i.e. 'I'm on empty', not "I'm on 
ecstasy"!)
2 - In the verses where Debbie sings
 "I'm on E" just play in time to the
 lyrics using either a D4 block 
chord
(on 5th fret), or a simplified 
version of the intro riff. I doubt 
it really matters either way, it's 
only a
great little punk/new wave song.
3 - For the brief "B A G F#" and "D 
C# C" run downs in the verses, just 
play single notes rather than 
chords.
