RAMONES - I WANNA BE SEDATED

standard tuning.
this song is unbelievably easy
if you dont feel like counting the beats ill write them below each line.
I didnt take any shortcuts or anything in tabbing this. you repeat parts but i just wrote the tabs down again instead of writing repeat.

Ramones/I Wanna Be Sedated
Album: Road To Ruin

I am amazed at all the incorrect versions of Ramones songs,
so I figured I'd set em' straight. Johnny wails away on FULL
barre chords, not power chords and plays only downstrokes-
get the rhythm and the chords right.

Tuning: Standard

Verse-play the rhythm like this-the open E
and the chord are not picked simutaneously. To chorus:

Twenty-twenty-twenty four hours to go I wanna be sedated
Nothin' to do and no where to go, I wanna be sedated

Just get me to the airport put me on a plane
Hurry hurry hurry before I go insane
I can't control my fingers I can't control my brain
Oh no o no o no o no

Twenty-twenty-twenty four hours to go I wanna be sedated
Nothin' to do and no where to go-o-o I wanna be sedated

Just put me in a wheelchair get me to the show
Hurry hurry hurry before I gotta go
I can't control my fingers I can't control my toes
