Key:
I've always wanted to know this song, but there weren't any really complete tabs and I to know what Thunders' was playing over that G chord. I'm sure there's tons of Dolls' out there wanting to know this song, so I put this up! It's alll complete. BUT some info you go strutting with this awesome song...Sylvain plays just C, D, and G chords in E barres, with switches to sus4 on the G. That's it for Syl, so don't worry. But now the Johnny Thunders' parts, his chord shapes for C, D, and G are in the A shaped barre so be Also the lick he plays over G is on the bottom of the page. Well that's it! Just sneer a and play with attitude. Intro
