Wasted Rock Ranger
by Great White
This is the B-side to the Once Bitten Twice Shy single that came out many years ago. It has been stuck in my head for some time now. I hope you all get a kick out of it as well. It sounds great on an acoustic. If anyone knows another way to play I would love to hear your suggestions.
G
Well, I'm a Wasted Rock Ranger, I live a life of danger
D
On the road to find a higher high
D
I don't need no one's affection, All I need is my injection,
G
My out of tune Les Paul will get me by
G
I've been doin' gigs since I was ten and really can't remember when
D
I ever had a dollar to my name
D
My ears are blown, my eyes are red, I've got big holes inside my head
G
From snorting too much crystal and cocaine
G
I have bennies with the mornin' toast, Qualudes with the evenin' roast
D
Assorted snorts of powder in between
D
I don't think a days gone by, That I wasn't drunk or high
G
It's the only way I keep my sanity
G
From Keggers Den to Hootersville, My flamming dreams have topped the bill
D
A thousand empty bottles earned my name
D
Endless dreams of one night stands, Sharing gigs with half-ass bands
G
And all the local groupies lay the same
G
Well I coulda' had a payin' job, workin' for some fucked up slob
D
Wife or family, true security
D
But I left that shit behind, With all that heavy metal grind
G
'Cause Rock & Roll is in my blood to stay (among other things...)
G
Hey! You're a Wasted Rock Ranger, You'll live a life of danger
D
Sing this song and follow it to the end
D
And when you reach number one **You can overdose for fun**
G
And go and visit Jimi and his friends
(whistle)x4
(solo)x8
G
Hey! You're a Wasted Rock Ranger, You'll live a life of danger
D
Sing this song and follow it 'till the end
D
And when we reach number one **We'll all overdose for fun**
G
And we'll hang out with Jimi and his friends (Yee-Haa)
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 GREAT WHITE 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.
