[Intro]
It comes in with keyboard holding an E5 while the drums solo. Then after awhile this
in with some distortion. (I threw this in cuz this is what everybody wants to know how to play.)

[Verse 1] Electric guitar continues to play intro. While all other instruments play this.

E5
"Honky Tonk Badonkadonk, Keepin' perfect rhythm make you wanna swing along
A5 E5
Got it goin' on like Donky Kong, And whoo-wee, shut my mouth,
Slap yo grandma"
Song fades out as the eletric guitar does what he seems to do best in this song. If you
know what that is, it's the intro and all other instruments play E5.
