Subject: Dramarama - Anything, Anything

 Anything, Anything -- Dramarama

This is a really easy song. There are three different guitar going at
any given time, so you should really just pick your favorite two and
run with it. I'd recomment playing guitar parts one and two, and using
guitar part three if you've got an extra guitarist around.

Part One -- The beginning of the song

  This is the rhythm track. It's all power chords- two-note chords
that are really easy to play. He plays E, G, C, D, and then back again.
Power chords look like this.... (tab)

     E          G          C          D
D----------|----------|------5---|------7---|
A------2---|------5---|---3------|---5------|
E---0------|---3------|----------|----------|

This is repeated throughout the entire song, except for the quiet bit
in the middle.

Part Two -- The really easy lead

The lead riff, which is repeated over and over and over during the loud
parts of the song, is really, really easy. It looks like this..

High E-------3--3--2--2--3--3--2--2--3--3--2--2--3--3--5--5------

Very, very easy. Just play it over and over. In the middle of the song,
when things slow down, he plays a funky-sounding note.. it's just a slid
down the low E, slide from about the 10th fret to the open note. Easy stuff.

Part Three - The second rhythm bit

The second rhythm bit, which really fattens out the song but isn't really
necessary, is just the first rhythm bit played an octave higher. Still very easy
 Basically, this is an easy song. Very fun to play, very easy to play, very cool.

The End
 When he starts playing the very last verse, the lead guitar starts just picking
notes higher and higher on the high-E string. Still very easy. I didn't bother
to transcribe it; just play whatever sounds good, progressing higher and 
higher on the high-E. Whee! We're rockin' now.

The Words

Oh, gee, what is it tonight?
At least just tell me what the hell is wrong,
Do you want to eat, do you want to sleep, do you want to drown?
Just settle down, settle down, settle down...
I'll give you give candy, give you diamonds, give you pills,
Give you anything you want, hundred dollar bills,
I'll even let you watch the shows you want to see,
Just marry me, marry me, marry me...

I'm so sick of you tonight,
You never stay awake when I get home,
Is something wrong with me, something wrong with you?
I really wish I knew, wish I knew, wish I knew...
I'll give you candy, give you diamonds, give you pills,
Give you anything you want, hundred dollar bills,
I even let you watch the shows you want to see,
Because you married me, married me, married me...

When I was young I learned a game,
Where love and happiness were the same,
Now I'm older and I don't play,
I found out the hardest way,
I got wasted, she got mad, called me names and she called her dad,
He got crazy and I did too, wondered what I did to you.
I'll give you candy, give you diamonds, give you pills, 
Give you anything you want, hundred dollar bills,
I even let you hear the songs I want to sing,
I'll give you anything, anything, anything...
I'll give you anything, anything, anything...

  If you like this song and this actually helped you out, drop me a line
so I know it wasn't a complete waste of time to type it in. Thanks!
