One Track Mind by Johnny Thunders
One Track Mind
Capo:no capo
Tuning:Standard
This song should be played quickly, with down strokes emphasizing stressed
lyrics (usually at the end of the verse). Keep in mind that the chord
changes are rather fast, so it might be easier to play Barre Chords. See the
recording off of L.A.M.F for Timing.
Intro:
C - D - F - G
Verse 1:
C
When I was born
D
I had to spit out a song
F
To live as I wish
G
I gotta swim like a fish
C
So I made a delusion
D
With creative confusion
F
I fixed up a track
G
And I don't look back
Chorus:
C G* F
I gotta one track mind**
I gotta one track mind**
I gotta one track mind
F G
Over you
Verse 2:
C
Everything's nice
D
When you're covered in ice
F
Then you open your eyes
G
And it's one big lie
C
Well, I feel right at home(?)
D
In a room of my own(?)
F
the rule book is finish
G
It says "don't come in!"
Chorus
Solo (don't know it, but just play the verse chords for the rhythm)
Chorus
Verse 3:
C
I got tracks on my arm
D
tracks on my face
F
There's tracks on the walls
G
They're all over the place
C
I don't think I'd miss it
D
If I had you to fix it
F
I just want you(?)
G
For just one night
Chorus (repeated until fade out)
Notes:
*play only root note
**Their are times when other singers yell out different things at this point
in the final 2 choruses. These shouts are "All the time," "Yeah, yeah," or
"Ain't got time."
(?) Could not understand the original lyric: this is the best guess.

Yeah when I was born
I had this bit act song
To live like you wish
And swim like a fish
So I made a collusion
With creative delusion
I fixed up a track
And I don't look back
I gotta one track mind
I gotta one track mind
I gotta one track mind
Over you
Oh well everything's nice
When you're covered in ice
But you open your eyes
And it's one big lie
I feel quite at home
In a world of my own
My rule book is finished
Says don't come in
I gotta one track mind
I gotta one track mind
I gotta one track mind
Over you
I got tracks on my arms and tracks on my face
There's tracks on the walls all over the place
Well I don't think I'd miss it
If I had you to fix it
I need all your juice for just one night
I gotta one track mind
I gotta one track mind
I gotta one track mind
Over you
