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 \
} CHORUS
lay your foot down on the gas /
/
D /
/
leave it there until you crash /
/
A E D D /
/
love's just a joyride /

A D
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.
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official BUILT TO SPILL tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
