End on C#
Rico was a short man
Wants to live with a long haired girl in
Cosa Meda
Rip off fruit stands
During the getaway
She will drive the Vespa
He''s gonna buy a parrot
That speaks her language
But all it''ll say is what are you doing with him
Let''s take off, take off, take off, take off
Everyone''s gotta be something
Me I''m garbage
It''s all I ever wanted to be
Shock me again and I''ll say
Anything you want me to
Let it play out
Buy the rights to endless love
If your friends don''t like it
You can tell them for me to
Fuck off, fuck off, fuck off, fuck off
Everyone''s gotta be something
Me I''m stupid
It''s all I ever wanted to be
Shock me again and i''ll say
Anything you want me to
Everyone''s gotta be something
Me I''m loaded
It''s all I ever wanted to be
Shock me again and
I''ll stay
I''ll stay

version 2
Intro-Verse-Chorus-Bridge-Verse-Chorus-outro
There''s a bit of a drum intro at the start with the guitar doing an E
power chord which fades in and after 16 bars (I think) it starts up.
Intro
-0-
-0-
-9-
-9-
-7-
-0-
P.M.
Repeat this chord for sixteen bars (palm muted) after 8 bars, guitar 2
comes in with the same thing.
Then it goes:
(Slashes represent strumming pattern)
////|////|////|//// >x2
..Em ...C .....G ....D
Verse
The first half of the verse is just the bass playing
---------------------------------
-------------------------0-0-----
---------3-3-3-3-----------------
-0-0-0-0---------3-3-3-3-----2-3-
After 6 repeats of that, the guitar comes in the same as before:
////|////|////|////
..Em ...C .....G ....D
Except it''s palm muted.
It repeats 4 times
Chorus
////|////|////|/////|////|////|////|////|
.......D ............C .............Em ...........D
This repeats 4 times
then he plays a C chord for 4 bars
Bridge
----------------------------
-----0------0------0------1-
---0------0------0------0---

-0------2------3------------
Outro
Same as Bridge.
Guitar 2
Intro
Comes in after 8 bars with same chord as guitar 1
Same as guitar one throughout
Verse
Just before the singing starts, the low e string is plucked once,
then, before guitar 1 comes in halfway through the verse, guitar two
plays quarter notes on an open b string about 6 times (it fades in and
out, so I''m unsure of how many repeats it does.
Through the chorus, guitar 2 basically plays the same thing:
E-------
B--3----
