I guess you could play the chords in a number of positions, these are the ones i prefer.
Play your own solos, its just one of those songs where you have to. ;)
Ive just written the chord patterns in square brackets that are used for each part of
song.
Shh...here they come
VERSE ]
now louie louie had his day
nothin' gonna change it now
the rats and snakes will never fade away
not while i'm alive
hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
CHORUS ]
There come the cossacks
the road spiders
the super gliders
burnin' trash, flickin' class, all the white trash yeah!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
VERSE ]
Now louie louie had his time
seemed like only yesterday
sandy and harry got married and moved away
'cause they had nothin' left to say yeah!
CHORUS ]
You with the glasses,
i'll see you later
we'll find love i know
rockin', reelin', double dealin', one more time this time with feelin' yeah!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
GUITAR SOLO OVER VERSE AND CHORUS
BRIDGE ] repeated
You move so fine
yeah what a scene i said
mmm, kinda aquiline
yeah baby saw through this now
]
you smell so good
yeah, and your shirt's always pressed
you'll be the best inside my baby
yeah, we're all under arrest now!
VERSE ]
Louie louie made his mark
on this tender heart of mine
the jamaican moon don't let it get dark
though we rock out in the night time
]
Yeah! Let's get on outta here now, let's go!
Enjoy it!!
