The Chords are pretty Easy, I'm gonna mostly concentrate on the lead. Starts with chords: CCC G+GG |--------| |--------| |--------| |--------| |--------| |--------| The Verse Riff: (make an open D MajorD chord and use your pinky for the '3' on the first string when needed) e|---3-2--|-3-2-0-2|---3-2--|----3-2-|-3-2-0-2||:----3-2-:|| BB|--3-----|--------|--3-----|--3-----|--------||:--3-----:|| G+G|-2------|--------|-2------|-2------|--------||:-2------:|| (6x) D MajorD|0-------|--------|0-------|0-------|--------||:0-------:|| A augmentedA|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------||:--------:|| E MajorE|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------||:--------:|| 1.Blue Jean, I just met a girl named blue jean... 2.
