Detroit
The main riff seems easy, but do not let the two strings ring at the same time.

This part is a bugger to figure out since it's masked in reverb, delay, wah
and god knows what else. So I did what i could, it's pretty much a section you
can improv over.
Find me in the suburbs and
The shadow of decay
Rolling rings of rubber and
The band begins to play
Am I on the right side of the left side of your brain
Can you see the rising of old yesterday's remains
Funkadelic said it best I think you know the rest
Time don't stand a chance against this motor madness
Don't you worry baby I'm like
Detroit, I'm crazy
Don't you worry baby I'm like
Detroit, I'm crazy I'm like
Detroit, I'm crazy
Don't you worry baby I'm like
The Stooges and J Dilla, yeah
They tore this town apart
Put me back together, well
I guess that's quite an art
Henry won the war you see
But not with pen or sword
He did it with the little thing I think it's called a Ford
Funkadelic said it best I think you know the rest
Time don't stand a chance against this motor madness
Don't you worry baby I'm like
Detroit, I'm crazy
Don't you worry baby I'm like
Detroit, I'm crazy I'm like
Detroit, I'm crazy
Don't you worry baby I'm like
