I got the lyrics from cs.uwp.edu (though I edited them a little) and worked the Chords out mostly by just playing my guitar like a bass along with the CD - I hope they're correct! The song has a fairly simple progression of Chords that you should be able to follow pretty easily - especially if you mainly use "E-form bar Chords". The Chorus part of the song has its Chords played sort of "12-bar blues style" - use your little finger! Apart from that the song is pretty basic although I might not have put the Chords into their EXACT position above the lyrics. The version of the song that I worked this out from was on : "The Rocky Horror Pictur Show" Soundtrack CD (Music from the original soundtrack of the 20th century fox presentation of the Michael White/Lou Adler Production) In my opinion this is the best version of the "Show" with the fab Tim Curry - not to mention a foxy Susan Sarandon!
