C / C C C / E / E E E / C / C C C / E / E E E [verse]: (yes, i know this too should be with keyboards, the grouping of the three C chords to the E should actually be a big glissando played on the keyboards, but those are the basic chords, the first C should be allowed to ring, the E's afterward should be very skankily muted, the three other chord blocks that follow those should be played virtually the same.) C / E E E E E E E E / C / C C C / E verse 1: i met a girl i knew the other day i said hello, she looked the other way verse 2: shopping for fun may chase the blues away imeida marcos bought more shoes today verse 3: bored housewives re-arrange the pottery hoping one day, they'll win the lottery verse 4: i met a man that who swore that jesus saves i asked him for a loan 'til judgement day [chorus]: (this is also done on keyboards, i believe, but to me, the same general sound can be achieved by playing a muted F on the guitars.) F oh oh oh you must need a hairspray oh oh oh your so set in your ways oh oh oh you must need a hairspray [solo interlude/solo]: (this leads into the keyboard solo, played exactly the same as intro, the F chord is played same as the chorus, and the lyrics are sung during the chord progression which is identical to the intro.) C / C C C / E / E E E / C / C C C / E / E E E you're oh so hard you're oh so cool you're so so smart you're just a spray on fool F [outro]: (this is played same as the intro to the solo and the intro. play throughout the entire lyrics, song ends on a C chord.) C / C C C / E / E E E / C / C C C / E / E E E with your spray on suit and your spray on hair your spray on smile and your spray on stare your spray on curls and your spray on shirt you are spray on dirt... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE SELECTER - hairspray - "hairspray" Pauline Black: vocals "Gaps" Hendrickson: vocals Nick Welsh: bass Martin Stewart: keyboards Paul Seacroft: guitar B L Cole: pedal steel ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
