1. SEX BEAT

Intro + verse :
F 133(221)
A 577(455)    during the verse he
E 0221(00)     plays only the bass notes
G 355(433)     but adds the higher notes for E and G
during verse

F                                A
Johnny's got a light in his eyes
E                          G
Shirley's got a light on her lips
Jakes got a monkeyshine on his head and Debra Ann's
got a tiger in her hips
they can twist and turn they can move and burn they
can throw themselves against the wall
but they creep for what they need and they explode to
the call
