This is the title track to the epic second album of the fictitious
band Eddie and the Cruisers (who are really John Cafferty and the
Beaver Brown Band). The album was so ahead of it's time, it was
rejected by the record label. After that, lead singer/songwriter/
guitarist Eddie Wilson was thought to have committed suicide.
His body and the mastertapes to Season in Hell were never found.

Chorus:
G|------------------------------| The verse and chorus bass lines
D|-----5--3--3----5--5----5--7--| are what the Cruisers bassist
