Tabs
O.K., here's a real easy but fun T. Rex tune from the "Electric
Warrior" album. I believe the LP had the lyrics, but my copy was
lost ages ago and I've had to rely on my ear and the CD (minus
printed lyrics, of course) for the words. There are three spots
where I just plumb DON'T KNOW what he's saying, and I've indicated
these with question marks and nonsense words. If anyone has the
correct lyrics, please let me know.

Notes: Marc Bolan occasionally plays A augmentedA rather than A7A7 in the main
riff. He also sometimes uses Dsus4Dsus4 in combination with the D MajorD in
the "I'm your babe..." part.
The version on "Electric Warrior" is in standard tuning. The version
in the "Born to Boogie" film is a half step higher.
