VERSE 1:
--------
It's impossible to get both the piano stuff and the guitar stuff into one guitar
part - and both are important to get the feel of the song, so I've tabbed them
separately.
It's only for the first few lines of each verse that it causes a problem - anyway
for these lines I'll do the piano bit on one line of tab (above the words), and
the guitar riff that goes with it below the words.

The girls don't seem to care what's on
As long as we play till dawn
Nothin' but blues and Elvis and somebody else's favourite songs
(Piano/guitar riffs as before....)
Give us some funked up music she treats you nice
(As before...)
Feed us some hungry Reggae she loves you twice
The girls don't seem to care tonight
As long as the music's right
No static at all (no static at all)
