There are only 2 differences from this TAB in a few places in the song: 'CHORUS' 1, 2 & 3, Measures 7 & 8; and the very last chord is a 'D7'. 'd' = Down Stroke / 'u' = Up Stroke / 'p' = Pull Off NOTE: On the '+' beat between counts 2 and 3 in the 2nd and 4th measures, you can play the 'e' note on EITHER the preferred low 'E' string (e0), or on the 'D' string (d2) if it's easier for you. d u u d u u d d p u u d u u d u u d d p u u Ds2 E E6 E Ds2 E E6 E e|0>>>0>>>------0>|--0>------------|----0>>>------0>|--0>------------| B|3>>>----3>>>--0>|--0>----2>0>----|--------3>>>--0>|--0>----2>0>----| G|2>>>--------2>1>|--1>--------1>--|------------2>1>|--1>--------1>--| D|0>>>------------|--------------2>|0>>>------------|--------------2>| A|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| E|----------------|------0>--------|----------------|------0>--------| 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + d u u d u u d d p u u d u u d u u d d p u u Ds2 E E6 E Ds2 E E6 E e|----0>>>------0>|--0>------------|----0>>>------0>|--0>------------| B|--------3>>>--0>|--0>----2>0>----|--------3>>>--0>|--0>----2>0>----| G|------------2>1>|--1>--------1>--|------------2>1>|--1>--------1>--| D|0>>>------------|--------------2>|0>>>------------|--------------2>| A|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| E|----------------|------0>--------|----------------|------0>--------| 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + INTRO: [16 M] ----- 1 2 3+4+ 1 2 3 +4+… |Ds2 E|… E6 E |Ds2 E|… E6 E | >Enter Drums |Ds2 E|… E6 E |Ds2 E|… E6 E | |Ds2 E |… E6 E |Ds2 E|… E6 E | Do… do… do-do… do… do-do… do… |Ds2 E |… E6 E |Ds2 E|… E6 E | Do… do… do-do… do… do-do… do… VERSE #1: [16 M] -------- |Ds2 E|… E6 E |Ds2 E| You got your mo-ther… in a… whirl… She's not… sure if you're a |E E6 E |Ds2 E |… E6 E | boy or a girl… Hey,… babe,… your hair's al-… right… |Ds2 E |… E6 E |Ds2 E| Hey,… babe,… let's go out to-night… You like… me… and I |E E6 E |Ds2 E |… E6 E | like it… all… We like… danc-in' and we look di-… vine… |Ds2 E |… E6 E | You love… bands… when they play it… hard… |Ds2 E |… E6 E | You want… more… and you want it… first… BRIDGE #1: [4 M] --------- |A |D | They put you down,… and say I'm… wrong… |Bm |E | You tack-y thing,… you put them… on… CHORUS #1: [8 M] --------- |Ds2 E |… E6 E |Ds2 E | Reb-el, reb-el,… you've torn your… dress… Reb-el, reb-el,… your |E E6 E |Ds2 E |… E6 E | face is a mess… Reb-el, reb-el,… how could they… know?… >See TAB below for these 2 measures< |D |E NC | Hot… tramp,… I love you… so… *** CHORUS #1, #2, and #3 7th and 8th measures' TAB ('b' = Bend Up) *** Hit 'g' note on low 'E' string just after 'so'.
