CHORDS:
   -------
        EADGBE
   B5  (x244xx)
   G5  (355xxx)
   F#5 (244xxx)
   A5  (x022xx)
   D   (xx0232)
   
   
   This is probably the best song in the summer of 98,
   a truly GREAT song. It's easy to play too, just chords
   and one simple riff.
   
   The B5's in the verse are sometimes played like this:
   
   B5-RIFF:
   E|-------------------|
   B|-------------------|
   G|-4---4---4-4-4-4---|
   D|-4---4---4-4-4-4---|
   A|-2---2---0-2-0-2---|
   E|-------------------|
   
   I'm not sure if all the B5's in the verse are played like
   this, but the last two are for sure. Listen and see what
   you think.
   
   
   VERSE 1:
   --------
   B5              G5            F#5
    Hangin' round, downtown by myself
                B5                      G5            F#5
   and I've had so much time to sit and think about myself
                      B5  [play B5-RIFF]
   and then there she was
        G5            F#5
   like double cherry pie
                  B5   [play B5-RIFF]
   yeah there she was
        G5          F#5
   like disco super-fly
   
   
   
   CHORUS-RIFF:
   ------------
   h = hammer-on
   p = pull-off
   
       Don't let this note be to loud!
   E|--|---------------|
   B|-(3)--------------|
   G|--2h4-2--2--------|
   D|--0---0--2h4-2p0--|
   A|------------------|
   E|------------------|
   
   Anyway, this is how I think the riff goes.
   It sounds good to me but you might wanna play
   it like this:
   
   E|------------------|
   B|--3---------------|
   G|--2h4-2-----------|
   D|---------2h4-2p0--|
   A|------------------|
   E|------------------|
   
   Just use what you think sounds better.
   I personally use the first riff, but I've gotten
   lots of comments on it, so I included the second
   riff too. I don't have the song with me, so I can't
   listen to it, so I can't be really sure what it's like.
   
   
   CHORUS:

   *CHORUS-RIFF*  B5  G5      A5

   VERSE 2: [play just like verse 1]
   --------
   Hanging round downtown by myself
   and I've had too much caffeine and I was thinkin' 'bout myself
   and then there she was
   in platform double suede
   yeah there she was
   like disco lemonade
