Twelve Volt Man Cifras

Taken From Jimmy’s Songs You Don’t Know By Heart YouTube Series.
 
This Is My First Tab, Though I Find It To Be Very Accurate.
 
Comments, Questions And Criticism Highly Encouraged!
 
One Thing To Note.
 
While Playing Jimmy Will Play E6(9) Between Eadd9 And E6 Sometimes.
Same Shape As E6 Just Omit The e String And Play e And B String Open.
 
Listen To The Song And Play Around For The Exact Strum Pattern And Addition Of The E6(9).
 
Really Fun Song To Play!  Enjoy!

[Intro]
Eadd9     E6
 
 
[Verse]
    Eadd9           Ealt
I never got a grip on penmanship
     Eadd9             E6
Could never make the small "L's" flow
      Eadd9            Ealt
Seldom found the trick to arith-a-metic
       Eadd9           Caug     (Pre Chorus Picking)
Three plus two be faux, pas
 
 
[Chorus]
      A            B
But ask for some palm trees
       A             B
Or tales from the South Seas
        A            B            Eadd9      E6
And I just might turn your head
 
 
[Verse]
    Eadd9                    Ealt
I never had the clout to knock one out
     Eadd9                    E6
But hitting was the name of my game
     Eadd9                      Ealt
Standing on third as the coaches conferred
     Eadd9               Caug        (Pre Chorus Picking)
Close to my first claim to fame
 
 
      A           B
Just give me the steal sign
      A            B
And I'll make home plate mine
      A            B          Eadd9      E6
And I just might turn some heads
 
 
[Bridge]
   A7                       E
Sometimes I may get a little drastic
  A7                       E
Sometimes I just let my feelin's show
 A7alt                        Eadd9
Sometimes I may be a bit sarcastic
  Gb                                 B       Eadd9       E6
Most times that's the way the story goes
 
 
   Eadd9                 Ealt
Now I now this Joe down in Mexico
    Eadd9                E6
He went there to work on his tan
    Eadd9                Ealt
For years he's been plugged into blenders and songs
    Eadd9                 Caug          (Pre Chorus Picking)
They call him the Twelve Volt Man
 
 
     A          B
He don't need no charge card
      A         B
Just give him a Die Hard
     A               B               Eadd9
And he'll makes sparks fly 'round your head
 
 
[Outro]
        A             B
Oh just ask for some palm trees
      A                B
Or tales from the South Seas
      A               B             Eadd9       E6
And I'll make sparks fly 'round your head
 
            Eadd9       E6
'Round your head
         Eadd9          E6          Eadd9
In your head
