Here is a better interpretation of I Wanna Be Sedated by the Ramones
than either of the ones that are currently posted on the mirrors site.

Intro: E (2 measures) - slide into it from a D#
E B E

E B E
Nothin' to do and no where to go-o I wanna be sedated
B E
Just get me to the airport put me on a plane
B E
Hurry hurry hurry before I go insane
B E
I can't control my fingers I can't control my brain
A B
Oh no no no no no
Lead guitar picks 8th notes on the open high E string over E A B E
chords (1 measure each)
E (2 measures) - slide into it from a D#. Then it goes up a *full* step
to:
F# B F#
Twenty-twenty-twenty four hours to go I wanna be sedated
F# B F#
Nothin' to do and no where to go-o I wanna be sedated
C# F#
