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
I smell sex and candy here, mmhmmm
*CHORUS-RIFF* B5 G5 A5
Who's that loungin' in my chair? mmhmmm
*CHORUS-RIFF* B5 G5 A5
Who's that casting devious stares in my direction?
D A5
Mama this surely is a dream
B5 G5 D A5 B5 G5 F#5
Yeah mama this surely is a dream, dig it
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
