Bitchin' Camaro

from Big Lizard in My Backyard

Tabbed by: Ben Gladdle (moose9377@hotmail.com)


Just bar chords. However, the rhythm is kinda tricky to figure out.
Best bet is just to listen and play along with the record.

I fixed this up recently... I don't know what the hell I was thinking
before. It was all wrong and all over the place!

BTW, if someone notices something like that (and you must have!),
please tell me... It's been ages since I've played some of these
tabs, and god knows I've probably put a lot of mistakes in them! :)

Yet another note: This file seems to do strange things when I upload
it geocities. Much like Beach Party Vietnam, it puts in double
letters and other weird effects, no matter what I do to it! So, please
try and ignore these weird little occurrences until I find out how to
fix it.

  to the shore.
- Uh, yeah, I think I'm gonna go down too the shore.
- Whadda ya gonna do down there?
- Uh, I don't know, p-play some video games, buy some Def Leppard t-shirts.
- Don't forget your Motley Crue t-shirt; y'know all proceeds go to get their
  lead singer out a' jail.
- Uh huh.
- Can't wait to go down. Hey uh, were ya gonna check out the sand bar while
  you're down there?
- Uh, what's the Sand Bar?
- Ah, it's a place that lets sixteen yeaar-old kids drink.
- Ah, cool.
- Ya hey, guess who's gonna be there?
- Uh, who?
- My favourite cover band, Crystal Ship..
- Wow!
- Yeah, they do a Doors show, you'd be really impressed, in fact, it goes a
  little like this:

  Love me two times baby
  Love me twice today
  Love me two times girl
  Cause I got AIDS
  Love me two times baby,
  Once for tomorrow,
  Once cause I got AIDS

- Uh...
- Pretty good Jim Morrison impersonation there. I hope those guys have a
  good sense a' humour and don't take us into court.
- Uh, what's the court?
- Never mind that, the important thing here...
- You mean the People's Court.
- The... Now, that's another story. The  important thing here is that we get
  to the part where you ask me how I'm gonna get down to the shore.
- Oh, how you gettin' down to the shore??
- Funny you should ask, I've got a car now.
- Ah wow, how'd ya get a car?
- Oh, my folks drove it up here from the Bahamas.
- You're kidding!
- I must be, the Bahamas are islands. Okay, the important thing here is
  that, uh, you ask me what kinda car it is.
- Uh uh, what kinda car do ya' got?
- I've got a bitchin' Camaro...


Chorus:
------
B                E
Bitchin' Camaro, Bitchin' Camaro!
A             D
I ran over my neighbors
B                E
Bitchin' Camaro, Bitchin' Camaro!
A                  D
Now I'm in all the papers


Verse:
-----
   F                 Bb
My folks bought me a bitchin' Camaro
     G               C
With no insurance to match
   F              Bb
So if I happen to run you down
G                    C
Please don't leave a scratch
F          Bb
I ran over some old lady
    G                   C
One night at the county fair
F            Bb
And I didn't get arrested
  G                  C
Because my dad's the mayor


chorus:
Bitchin' Camaro, Bitchin' Camaro!
Donuts on your lawn
Bitchin' Camaro, Bitchin' Camaro!
Tony Orlando and Dawn

verse:
When I drive past the kids
They all spit and cuss
Cause I've got a bitchin' Camaro
And they have to ride the bus
So you'd better get out of my way
When I come through your yard
Cause I've got a bitchin' Camaro
And an Exxon credit card


Chorus 2: (different to the first two choruses)
--------
D                G
Bitchin' Camaro, Bitchin' Camaro!
C                F
Hey man where ya headed?
D                G
Bitchin' Camaro, Bitchin' Camaro!
C              F
I'm drunk on unleaded!

End on F.
