This is the second song I learned to play on the guitar. It’s off of the
Joyride/Sick and Wrong 7″ released around ’93? It’s a joint International
Pop Underground/K records master.
It’s done in bar chords, with that traditional «down-down-up up-down-up»
Stroke method.
A D
Saturday I jotted down some words I thought
A E D
All about a girl that I thought I loved
A D
It told the story of what we did and what went wrong
A E D
You’ve heard it all before; it’s the same old shit
Solo:

So I won’t bore you with all the details
I’m sure that you can listen between the lines
I screwed her and she screwed me but we never once had sex
All we ever had was too much time
SOLO, then
———————————-
A
Love is just a joyride
E
Drink a lot of beer and climb inside
D

Lay your foot down on the gas /

Leave it there until you crash /

Love’s just a joyride /

This part of the song is called the second verse
A E D
It sounds just like the first verse, but with different words
A D
It only has three chords, and they are A, E and D
A E D
They are A and E and D
SOLO («there goes the dm…D…uh, A, E, and D…)
CHORUS twice, then
AA C#C# DD DD BB C#C# E!E! E!E!
This repeats, with Dug doing what he does best over top of it.
