Em    Am

Em            Am
My new purple shoes
     Em                      G
'bin amazing the people next door
G7                    C
   And my rock'n'roll 45's
     Eb                        D           Dm  Fm  D7 D7 D7 D7
'bin enraging the folks on the lower floor

Em                    Am
I got a way  with the girls on my block
          Em                 Am
Tryin' my best be a real individual
Em                       G           G7
  And when we go down to Smokies and rock
           C            Cm         D7 (8x)
They light up like it's some kinda ritual

[Chorus]
(Em and Am, each chord = 5 fast strokes, 3 rest, repeat:
 Em /////xxx/////xxx Am /////xxx/////xxx )
Em            Am
Ooh give me a good guitar
            Em                       Am
and you can say that my hair's a disgrace
Em                 G
or just find me an open car
G7               C              Cm          D7
   I'll make the speed of light out of this place

Em              Am
     I like the good things in life
    Em                            Am
But most of the best things ain't free
       Em                  G
This insane situation just cuts like a knife
             G7              C               D7
When you're young and you're poor and you're crazy

[Chorus]
Em            Am
Ooh give me a good guitar
            Em                       Am
and you can say that my hair's a disgrace
Em                 G
or just find me an open car
G7               C              Cm          D7
   I'll make the speed of light out of this place
