Tuned down 1/2-step
Comment: Don´t think Gene played on this. It´s all staccato eight-notes,
and over static chords like these he usually goes crazy. Check out the
Peter Gunn- or Batman-like riff in Rhy. Fig 4d.

= slide down
b = bend (whole step)

Is that you?
Gerard McMahon
[Rhy. Fig 1] (4x)
[Rhy. Fig 2a]
Cat's droolin' on the bar stool,
shake your hips and crack your whips
[Rhy. Fig 2b]
Cheap seventeen and trashed out,
you went too far, been a bitch you are
[Rhy. Fig 2a]
Your reputation's in the bathroom,
it's on the wall and down the hall
I hear you're cheatin' with my teacher
after school, tell me what you do
[Rhy. Fig 3a]
When you know,
you always get the boys you like
Play nice, then stick them with your knife,
take off your insecure disguise
[Rhy. Fig 4a]
Is that you, crawlin' up my stairs, is that you
[Rhy. Fig 4b]
(Is that you, crawlin' up my stairs)
[Rhy. Fig 4c]
Is that you, lookin' half way dead
[Rhy. Fig 2a]
Write on the mirror with your lipstick,
much too vain, got scattered brains
You used me just enough to get off,
act your age, get off your stage
[Rhy. Fig 3b]
When you know,
you always get the boys you like
Play nice, then stick them with your knife,
take off your insecure disguise
[Rhy. Fig 4b]
Is that you, crawlin' up my stairs, is that you
(Is that you, crawlin' up my stairs)
Is that you, lookin' half way dead, is that you
[Rhy. Fig 4c]
(Is that you, lookin' half way dead) Is that you, with your long black hair
[Rhy. Fig 2a] (2x)
[Riff 1]
You always get the boys you like,
play nice, then stick them with your knife
[Rhy. Fig 5]
You always get the boys you like,
play nice, then stick them with your knife
Take off your insecure disguise
[Rhy. Fig 4d]
Is that you, crawlin' up my stairs, is that you
(Is that you, crawlin' up my stairs)
Is that you, lookin' half way dead, is that you
(Is that you, lookin' half way dead) Is that you, with your long black hair
