x"Denise" by Fountains of Wayne From the album UTOPIA PARKWAY Transcribed by Keith Mularski ([email protected]) ------------------------------------------------------------ Just a little guide to help you in the reading of this transcription. The cords F+, and F#+ are played by playing power cords in the 8th and 9th positions respectively. The reason for the + sign is to distinguish those cords from F# that is played in the 2nd position during the Bridge and the Chorus. The song is fun to play, and for ultimate realism, turn the treble and middle way up on your amp to produce a great fuzzy sound. Verse 1: Bflat F+ F#+ F#+ I know this girl named Denise Bflat F+ F#+ F#+ She makes me weak at the knees Bflat F+ F#+ F#+ She drives a lavender Lexus Bflat F+ F#+ F#+ She lives is Queens but her dad lives in Texas Bridge: F# C# Eflat Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la, When she holds me F# C# Eflat Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la, I can't help myself F# C# Eflat Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la, Won't you tell me?
