this is the second song I learned to play on the guitar.  It's off of the
Joyride/Sick and Wrong 7" released around '93?  It's a joint International
Pop Underground/K records master.
 
It's done in bar chords, with that traditional "down-down-up up-down-up"
stroke method.
 
A			    D
 
Saturday I jotted down some words I thought
 
A	    E		D
 
All about a girl that I thought I loved
 
A				     D
 
It told the story of what we did and what went wrong
 
A		      E		     D
 
You've heard it all before; it's the same old shit
 
solo:

so I won't bore you with all the details
I'm sure that you can listen between the lines
I screwed her and she screwed me but we never once had sex
all we ever had was too much time
 
SOLO, then
 
----------------------------------
A				  \
				   \
love is just a joyride		    \
				     \
E				      \
				       \
drink a lot of beer and climb inside	\
					 \
D				 	  \
					   }  CHORUS
lay your foot down on the gas		  /
					 /
D					/
				       /
leave it there until you crash	      /
				     /
A      E      D      D		    /
				   /
love's just a joyride		  /
----------------------------------
 
A				    D
 
this part of the song is called the second verse
 
A			E		      D
 
it sounds just like the first verse, but with different words
 
A				       D
 
it only has three chords, and they are A, E and D
 
	 A     E     D
 
they are A and E and D
 
SOLO ("there goes the dm...D...uh, A, E, and D...)
 
CHORUS twice, then
 
AA  C#C#  DD  DD  BB  C#C# E!E! E!E!
 
this repeats, with Dug doing what he does best over top of it.
