Gene And Eddie by Stray Cats
Gene And Eddie
Chords Used [(In order of appearance)You can also use barre chords in the verses for A,
you'd like,
but I tend not to. I also forgot the chord in the first fill,
so don't kill me for not including it here!]:

O||
|| <-That kind of thing means repeat the previous passage however many
O|| times according to the X(#) above it. If there is no || before a passage, then
that bar to the beginning, like in the Intro/Main Riff
Amp settings (not in o'clock):
Gain- Big no-no, all the way down. If you absolutely MUST have it, go with
around 1-2
Treble- Either 8 or 10
Middle- A smidge past 5
Bass- Either 10 or 8, respectively depending on what you put for Treble
(i.e., Treb-10 = Bass-8, vice versa)
Reverb- To taste. For a more surf-y sound, I put it to 10, but it sounds
good anywhere, really, especially in the 4-7 range.
Also, if you have a delay pedal, set it up to Slap-Back.

VERSE 1
(Shuffle the chords with a bluesy feel to it, it may sound like a regular blues
but it's actually just a shuffle of, slightly palm-muted if anything, root fifth/power chords
the full open/barre chord. A sample rythym in eighth notes: E5-E5-E-E5-E5-E5-E)
