During the verses, part of the riff is played an octave lower:
E ---------------------------------------------------------------|
B ---------------------------------------------------------------|
G -------7----------------OR------7------------------------------|
D ----/9---9--7--5--5----------/9---9--7-------------------------|
A ----------------------------------------10--10-----------------|
E ---------------------------------------------------------------|
There are other places to play it on the neck too; do what's most
comfortable.
The chords are a simple G, F, C through most of the song:
G (MUTE) F C F C
E ------------------------------------------------------------|
B --12--12--X-X-X-X--10-10-----------------10-----------------|
G --12--12--X-X-X-X--10-10------9---9------10--------9--------|
D --12--12--X-X-X-X--10-10------10--10-----10--------10-------|
A --10--10--X-X-X-X--8--8----0--10--10-----8---------10-------|
E ------------------------------8---8----------------8--------|
My blood runs cold MY memory has just been sold
If that proves too daunting (or you have a second guitarist) then
play it as open chords. This particular voicing is what I
believe Mr. Geils (yes, he exists and was the guitarist) to be
playing on the recording.
The pre-chorus:
MIm LAm SOL REE ---0-----------------------------------0-----------3---2-------|
B ---0-----------------------------------1-----------0---3-------|
G ---0-----------------------------------2-----------0---2-------|
D ---2-----------------------------------2-----------0---0-------|
A ---2-----------------------------------0-----------2-----------|
E ---0-----------------------------------0-----------3-----------|
A part of me has just been ripped the pages of my mind are
stripped
And that's pretty much all you need to know. No solo, and the
rest is easy if you try it with the song, even that little low
riff after the false ending. Towards the fade out, Peter Wolf
sings a harmony to the main riff on "Na-na", which you can play
on guitar if you choose:
E /12-10-10-12-10-10--10-10-8-8----8-10-8-8-10--and-repeat------|
B ------------------------------10------------------------------|

Welcome to life. Spelling counts.
Used to play this in a band I was in, but we rearranged it a bit - the lead
guitar played the cheesy keyboard parts at the start etc.
Here's a rough idea :
SOL FA DO FA DODoes she walk, does she talk, does she come complete
- SOL FA DO FA DO
My home-brew, home-room angel, just pulled me to my feet
SOL FA DO FA DO She was pure like snowflakes, no one could ever stain
SOL FA DO FA DOThe memory of my angel could never cause me pain
- MIm LAm DO RE
The years go by I'm looking thru a girly magazine
MIm LAm DO RE And there's my ---- angel on the pages in between
(chorus)
SOL FA DO FA DOMy blood runs cold, my memory has just been sold
- SOL FA DO FA DO
My angel is tha centrefold (angel is the centrefold)
My blood runs cold, my memory has just been sold
Da, da, da etc.... (I'll post this riff next time)
Hit the chords hard & sharp (listen to the record for the rythym.)
If time allows I'll recall the riff at the start and post an improved
version tomorrow.
Cheers,
Bruisa.
