Here is a better interpretation of I Wanna Be Sedated by the Ramones
than either of the ones that are currently posted on the mirrors site.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Intro] E (2 measures) - slide into it from a D#
[Chorus]
E B E
Twenty-twenty-twenty four hours to go I wanna be sedated
E B E
Nothin' to do and no where to go-o I wanna be sedated
[Verse]
B E
Just get me to the airport put me on a plane
B E
Hurry hurry hurry before I go insane
B E
I can't control my fingers I can't control my brain
A B
Oh no no no no no
Lead guitar picks 8th notes on the open high E string over E A B E chords (1 measure each)
E (2 measures) - slide into it from a D#. Then it goes up a *full* step
[Chorus]
F# B F#
Twenty-twenty-twenty four hours to go I wanna be sedated
F# B F#
Nothin' to do and no where to go-o I wanna be sedated
[Verse]
C# F#
Just put me in a wheelchair get me to the show
C# F#
Hurry hurry hurry before I gotta go
C# F#
I can't control my fingers I can't control my toes
B C#
Oh no no no no no
F# (2 measures)
[Chorus]
F# B F#
Twenty-twenty-twenty four hours to go I wanna be sedated
F# B F#
Nothin' to do and no where to go-o I wanna be sedated
[Outro]
F# B C# F#
Ba-ba-bamp-ba Ba-ba-ba-bamp-ba I wanna be sedated
F# B C# F#
Ba-ba-bamp-ba Ba-ba-ba-bamp-ba I wanna be sedated
repeat and let F# ring to end
