Ah! They don't make them like this anymore, a good old rock'n'roll tune with not
one, but TWO lovely guitar solos to master... ENJOY!
intro: A - F#m G (x8, bass enters 3rd time, keyboards enter 5th time,
drums enter 7th time)
Bitching 'bout the things we've seen
Bitching 'bout the things we'd be
Bitching 'bout the loves we've had
My oh my it wasn't so bad
When we had that to loosen our minds
Hey little baby in the front row, be kind
(bar bitching) Telling you the gospel truth
(bar bitching) Why don't you all go get screwed?
(bar bitching) Why don't you tell me something new?
(bar bitching) Yeah, bitching
Bitching 'bout the Windsor C
Bitching 'bout the Western Sea
Why can't you all be like a Grainger man?
Or even a Pheland man?
I'll tell you what we'll meet in Amsterdam
And then you'll see what should be really can
(bar bitching) Telling you the gospel truth
(bar bitching) Why don't you all go get screwed?
(bar bitching) Why don't you tell me something new?
(bar bitching) Yeah, bitching, that's what I'm talking about
Got anything to say? No? Well, shut up...
guitar solo (repeat chords A - F#m G, listen to the recording to get the bends
right, he mainly bends the notes a semitone upwards):

There's a place with a lot of eyes
Strange smoke perfume around the peacock guys
And the girls, they move their heat
To the impulsive, compulsive beat
But that's another place, another time
Maybe we'll meet there in quite a short while
(bar bitching) Telling you the gospel truth
(bar bitching) Why don't you all go get screwed?
(bar bitching) Why don't you tell me something new?
(bar bitching) Yeah, bitching
I really don't know what to say
That's gonna happen to us all one day
And when it does you can have me too
But until then I really don't know what to do
I'm just gonna keep on
(bar bitching) Telling you the gospel truth
(bar bitching) Why don't you all go get screwed?
(bar bitching) Why don't you tell me something new?
(bar bitching) Yeah, bitching
