Well, this is my first tab. It's 100% accurate except the solo, which is a little off. Anyhoo... enjoy. ------------------------------------------------------ Intro: |------------------|------------------|----------------------|------------------| |------------------|------------------|----------------------|------------------| |------------------|------------------|----------------------|------------------| |-9-9-9-10-10-10-9-|-9-9-9-10-10-10-9-|-14-14-14-15-15-15-14-|-9-9-9-10-10-10-9-| |-7-7-7-8--8--8--7-|-7-7-7-8--8--8--7-|-12-12-12-13-13-13-12-|-7-7-7-8--8--8--7-| |------------------|------------------|----------------------|------------------| If I'm playing by myself, I like to do the little bass fills in there too, so I'll tab them out. After the first one: |-------------| |-------------| |-------------| |-------------| |-6-5-3-------| |-------6-5-3-| Second: |-------------| |-------------| |-------------| |-------------| |-----0-2-1---| |-0-3-------3-| Third: |------| |------| |------| |------| |------| |-12/0-| After the fourth there isn't one, just hold the chord until you go to the last part of the intro: Strum these chords a bit. |----------------------| |----------------------| |----------------------| |-12-12-12-11-11-10-10-| |-10-10-10-9--9--8--8--| |----------------------| Alright, now for the bulk of the song. Here's the chords that get used: Em Am B B# G D |-7-|-5-|-7-|-8--|----|-10-| |-8-|-5-|-7-|-8--|-12-|-10-| |-9-|-5-|-8-|-9--|-12-|-11-| |-9-|-7-|-9-|-10-|-12-|-12-| |-7-|-7-|-9-|-10-|-10-|-12-| |-7-|-5-|-7-|-8--|----|-10-| And here we go.
EmLet me tell you 'bout a girl I know Had a drink about an hour ago AmSitting in a corner by herself BIn a bar in B#downtown Bhell
EmShe heard a noise and she looked to the door And saw a man she'd never seen before AmLight skin, light blue eyes BA double chin and a B#plastic Bsmile
EmHer heart raced as he walked through the door And took an empty seat next to her at the bar B'My brand new car is parked right outside AmHow'd you like to go for a ride'' And she said
Em'Wait a minute I have to think' He said 'That's fine may I please buy you a drink'' BOne drink turned into 3 or 4 And they B#left and got Binto his Emcar And they B#drove away some Bplace real Emfar
EmNow babe, the time has come How'd you like to have a little fun' And she said B'If we could only B#please be on our Gway, I would not Drun' Em
EmThat's when things got out of control EmShe didn't B#want Bto EmHe had B#his Bway EmShe said B#let's Bgo EmHe said B#no Bway
BCome on babe it's your lucky day B# B BShut your mouth we're gonna do it my way B# B BCome on baby don't be afraid B# B BIf it wasn't for date rape, I'd never get laid -------------------------------------------------------
Now it's solo time! This is the general gist of it, though there are some subtle tweaks that I couldn't catch, but I know are there. When I've tabbed out the 10^^^10, You have to hit the ten, bend it up to a 12 and hold it while you hit 12 on the high E string, and then hit the bent ten again while bringing it down. It's a Chuck Berry riff, a little difficult to get used to but sounds great. It's also used in the latter half of the solo, where you bend up 10 and hit 7 as well. / - Slide up \ - Slide down H - Hammer P - Pick off ^ - Bend up the next note, so if it's says 10^12, bend the 10 up to a 12 ~ - Vibrato (very little in this song, so don't overdo it) |------------|----12-----|--------------------------------| |-----8-10p8-|-10^^^10\8-|-10p8---8-----------------------| |-7/9--------|-----------|------9---9-7~---7--------------| |------------|-----------|---------------9---9-7h9P7------| |------------|-----------|---------------------------10-7-| |------------|-----------|--------------------------------| |----------------|-----------------||--------| |----------------|-10~~8~7~----8---||-10P8---| |----------7-9-9-|---------7-9---9-||------9-|(This section is |------7-9-------|-----------------||--------|played about 7x) |-7-10-----------|-----------------||--------| |----------------|-----------------||--------| ....PM..... |----7--| |-10^12-| |-------|(This section is |-------|played around 5x) |-------| |-------| |-------------------------------------| |-10^12-8---10P8----------------------| |---------9------9-7-9-9-9-10-10-10-9-| |-------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------| Then play the intro again, and we're back into the second verse. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EmHe finished up, started the car He turned around and drove back to the bar AmHe said 'Now baby, don't be said,' B'In my opinion, you B#weren't half Bbad.'
EmShe picked up a rock. Threw it at the car.
Hit him in the head Now he's got a big scar
AmCome on, party people won't you listen to me BDate rape B#stylee
EmThe next day, she went to her drawer Looked up her local attorney-at-law BWent to the phone and filed a police report AmAnd then she took the guys ass to court
EmThe day he stood infront of the judge He screamed 'She lies, that little slut!' BThe judge knew he was full of shit So he B#gave him B25 Emyears And now his B#heart is Bfilled with Emtears
EmOne night in jail, it was getting late He was but-raped by a large inmate BAnd he screamed But the B#guards payed no Gattention to his Dcries
EmThat's when things got out of control EmThe moral B#of Bthe EmDate rape B#stoBry EmIt does not B#payB EmTo be drunk and B#horBny
BBut that's the way it had to be B# B BThey locked him up and threw away the key Well B#I cBan't take pity on men of his kind B#EveBn though he now takes it in the behind

Date rape! ------------------------------------------------------ The horns play the next part, but if you don't have any (most likely) I tabbed it out. |---------------------------------------------------------------------| |------12------12-----------------------------------------------------| |-9-12----9-12---------11------11-------12-------12-------------------|(x2) |-----------------9-13----9-13----10-14----10-14----------12-------12-| |---------------------------------------------------10-14----10-14----| |---------------------------------------------------------------------| ------------------------------------------------------
