STRENGTH TO ENDURE by Ramones
(from the Mondo Bizarro album)
Tabbed by Ivo ([email protected])
As usual, I’m only indicating the fingering for this song. Don’t take the
|’s as a symbology for any kind of timing.
There may be details missing, I never pay attention to them. I also don’t know
how many times to play each part (I ain’t got the CD any more). Listening to
the song is enough to figure this out.

During the verses play the intro pattern like this, muffling the strings
a little.

Lyrics for the verses:
Walking through the cross the heart
Peeling heavy and hopeless
Wonderin’ how I ever will
See through this darkness
Every drop of blood can be so beautiful
And I sure was bleedin’ the drops by the bucketful
I’m not afraid to tell her
Just how things work
Ride a hurricane through the fast lane
Always looking over my shoulder
She said there’s something about you
And neon lights always glow hot
Baby we can see this through
Just give me all the strength you’ve got
I’m not afraid to tell her
Just how things work
Ride a hurricane through the fast lane
Always looking over my shoulder
She said there’s something about you
And neon lights always glow hot
Baby we can see this through
Just give me all the strength you’ve got
Between each verse comes the chorus
Chorus:
I have the strength to endure and all the love so pure

Yeah, there’s that little solo. For that, the rythm plays the intro while
the solo goes like this (more or less). In this tab note that:
/ means slide upward
B means a full bend

Then back to verse
The song ends with that intro. In the very end (last bar) instead of playing
the single note pattern, it goes like

I accept anything (suggestions, comments, money, etc.) but no flame.
