I *think* theseare the chords....my tiny walkman speakers don't give a very clear sound ( good workman, bad tools honestly !!).The song is so wild that it seems the full major chords are played.Aaanyway, the lyrics (according to the author) were screamed on the spot, no lyric sheet here.make what you can of them.

(a chord notation is at the end of this document for the musically retarded) *Molly's Lips* This is just two chords throughout. Just G5 C5. That's it! *Son of a Gun* The intro and verse is A5 E5 D5 E5 Chorus: G5 C5 D5 C5 The interlude is just basically G5 D5 a couple of times, then A5 E5* a couple of times, then back to G5 D5 four times. *Jesus Wants Me For a Sunbeam* Verse: E5 D5 A5 Chorus: E5 D5 E5 D5 E5 D5 A5 The solo (and the accordion part in the Unplugged version, I think) goes like this: ---------------------------------------------------------- -----------------9-7-------------------------------------- --6-7-8-9--9-9------9-7--7-7--9-7-6---------7-6--------- --------------------------------------7--7-7------7--7-7- ---------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------- In live versions, the first and third verse are clean, while the choruses, second verse, and solo are distorted.

The chords shown below are the chords you're pretending to play; the chords that come out are a half step lower because of the tuning.
