Unbelievably cool song!! Iggy Pop is a genius and this song sounds
just as good today as it did 30 years ago!! Easy to play too, just
a few powerchords. What makes it sound so cool is that the low E
string is always played open throughout the song. Enjoy!!

Play this and then play RIFF 1 (below) four times
before the verse starts.

[You hear the piano that keeps playing the same note
throughout the song? Well, if you have two guitars it
sounds cool to have one of them play the piano part
like this:]

VERSE 1: [Play RIFF 1]

So messed up, I want you near
In my room I want you here
Now we're gonna be face to face
And I'll lay right down in my favorite place
[For the CHORUS there are variations to the main riff.
I call these variatons RIFF 2 and RIFF 3. The timing
is kinda strange in them (especially RIFF 3) so I put
the numbers '1 2 3 4' under the tab, so you can count
and look at the tab and see how the timing is supposed
to be. Or you could just listen to the song which is
much easier :)]

Just play RIFF 1 and fade.
There's a guitar playing some terrible (but very cool) solo.
Just make up something (that's what he's doing!)
