  • The riff:
    E------10--------------------------------------------------------|
    B --/12-----12-10---------------------------10--------10---------|
  • G ----------------12-12----12-9-12-12--9-12----12-12-------------|
    D ---------------------------------------------------------------|
    A ---------------------------------------------------------------|
  • E ---------------------------------------------------------------|
     
     
  • E ------10------------------------------------------------------|
    B ---12-----12-10---------------------------10------------------|
    G ----------------12-12----12-9-12-12--9-12----12-12------------|
  • D --------------------------------------------------------------|
    A --------------------------------------------------------------|
    E --------------------------------------------------------------|
  •  
    During the verses, part of the riff is played an octave lower:
     
  • E ---------------------------------------------------------------|
    B ---------------------------------------------------------------|
    G -------7----------------OR------7------------------------------|
  • D ----/9---9--7--5--5----------/9---9--7-------------------------|
    A ----------------------------------------10--10-----------------|
    E ---------------------------------------------------------------|
  •  
    There are other places to play it on the neck too; do what's most
    comfortable.
  •  
    The chords are a simple G, F, C through most of the song:
     
  • G (MUTE) F C F C
    E ------------------------------------------------------------|
    B --12--12--X-X-X-X--10-10-----------------10-----------------|
  • G --12--12--X-X-X-X--10-10------9---9------10--------9--------|
    D --12--12--X-X-X-X--10-10------10--10-----10--------10-------|
    A --10--10--X-X-X-X--8--8----0--10--10-----8---------10-------|
  • E ------------------------------8---8----------------8--------|
    My blood runs cold MY memory has just been sold
     
  • If that proves too daunting (or you have a second guitarist) then
    play it as open chords. This particular voicing is what I
    believe Mr. Geils (yes, he exists and was the guitarist) to be
  • playing on the recording.
     
    The pre-chorus:
  •  
    Em Am G D
    E ---0-----------------------------------0-----------3---2-------|
  • B ---0-----------------------------------1-----------0---3-------|
    G ---0-----------------------------------2-----------0---2-------|
    D ---2-----------------------------------2-----------0---0-------|
  • A ---2-----------------------------------0-----------2-----------|
    E ---0-----------------------------------0-----------3-----------|
     
  • A part of me has just been ripped the pages of my mind are
    stripped
     
  • And that's pretty much all you need to know. No solo, and the
    rest is easy if you try it with the song, even that little low
    riff after the false ending. Towards the fade out, Peter Wolf
  • sings a harmony to the main riff on "Na-na", which you can play
    on guitar if you choose:
     
  • E /12-10-10-12-10-10--10-10-8-8----8-10-8-8-10--and-repeat------|
    B ------------------------------10------------------------------|
    G --------------------------------------------------------------|
  • D --------------------------------------------------------------|
    A --------------------------------------------------------------|
    E --------------------------------------------------------------|

  • Welcome to life. Spelling counts.
     
     
  • Used to play this in a band I was in, but we rearranged it a bit - the lead
    guitar played the cheesy keyboard parts at the start etc.
    Here's a rough idea :
  •  
    G F C F C
    Does she walk, does she talk, does she come complete
  • G F C F C
    My home-brew, home-room angel, just pulled me to my feet
    G F C F C
  • She was pure like snowflakes, no one could ever stain
    G F C F C
    The memory of my angel could never cause me pain
  • Em Am C D
    The years go by I'm looking thru a girly magazine
    Em Am C D
  • And there's my ---- angel on the pages in between
     
    (chorus)
  •  
    G F C F C
    My blood runs cold, my memory has just been sold
  • G F C F C
    My angel is tha centrefold (angel is the centrefold)
     
  • My blood runs cold, my memory has just been sold
     
    Da, da, da etc.... (I'll post this riff next time)
  •  
    Hit the chords hard & sharp (listen to the record for the rythym.)
    If time allows I'll recall the riff at the start and post an improved
  • version tomorrow.
     
    Cheers,
  • Bruisa.

    Intro (Played on an organ on the original)
    This is played through twice and then the other instruments come in and it is played twice again.

    D -9---9-7-------------------------7-------7-|
    A ---------10-10---10-7-10-10-7-10---10-10---|
  • E -------------------------------------------|
     
    Main Riff
  • The main riff consists of the chords G F C F in that order. To get the actual pattern
    the strums you'll have to listen to the original.
     
  • F G C
    E -1- -3- -3-|
    B -1- -3- -4-|
  • G -2- -4- -4-|
    D -3- -5- -4-|
    A -3- -5- -3-|
  • E -1- -3- -X-|
     
     
  • (Riff 1) Pre Chorus
    The pre chorus follows each verse as a continuation ie there's no gap in between the
    and pre-chorus.
  •  
    E -----------------------------------------------------------|
    B -----------------------------------------------------------|
  • G -----------------------------------------------------------|
    D -----------------------------------------------------------|
    A ------------------------3--5-------------------------------|
  • E --0----------5---------------------------------------------|
     
     
  • (Riff 2) Just before the last line of each chorus
     
    E -----------------------------------------------------------|
  • B -----------------------------------------------------------|
    G ----7------------------------------------------------------|
    D --9---9-7--------------------------------------------------|
  • A ----------10-10--------------------------------------------|
    E -----------------------------------------------------------|
     
  • (Riff 3) The following four sections come during the third verse, about 2 minutes into
    song, again you'll have to listen to the song to figure out where but they are played
    each in the order I've shown.
  •  
    E -------------|-----------------|---------|-------10--------|
    B -------------|--------------8--|---8-10^-|-11-11^---8------|
  • G -------------|-----------------|---------|-----------------|
    D --8----------|---10-8----------|---------|-----------------|
