 Too  young to drink  and too  smart to think
 Attaches  on his head  with the missing  link
 He's skinny  as a snake  and fast  as a mink
 But he ain't  for sale  unless you add  the kitchen sink
 Listen to the recording for the rhythm, it's relativley simple.
 The chords listed are in barre form: the D and B with the root
 on the 5th string and G, A, and E with root on the 6th string,
 but different combinations of barre or open chord forms should
 work fine if you want to switch them.
 Look out, here he comes again
 They say he's dead, he's my three best friends
 He's so honest that the dishonest dread
 Meeting the kid with the replaceable head

 The rhythm guitar plays a Bm chord at the beginning of each line, while the
 lead plays the following line. It isn't perfect by any means, and you can
 substitute it with alternate lines from the B Minor Pentatonic if you'd
 prefer.

 Meeting  the kid  with the replaceable  head!
 A short intstrumental section follows, which you can improvise over with a
 D Major/B Minor Pentatonic scale (they share the same notes, and thus have
 the same scale positions on the fretboard). The reason I make this distinction
 is because the key changes. Between 0.36 and 0.48, your ear should recognise
 the D Major tonality. After 0.48 until the instrumental finishes, you can
 hear it shift to B Minor - just be aware of that change so you can resolve
 your licks more appropriately.
 Bop,  Bop,  Bop,  Bop,  Bop,  Bop,  Bop!
