(The little octave slide lick is a fill I`ve heard
thrown in quite a few times live. But don`t
overdo it for God`s sake...)

|-0--0------5-x-5------3--3-----------0---------||
(There`s probably some variations on that. Feel free!)
As for the solo and middle section I really don`t know. Except live
there`s a really cool jazzy clean part in the middle. It has
a `3/8 against 4/4`-feel which may take a little time to
get into for the unintiated...

If you`ve ever seen the band live you should have fun
dancing around to that one...
There`s no guitar playing during the third verse...
And now for something completely and utterly silly: The Lyrics (rap style)
1st Verse:
Well I was sitting in my limousine drinking champagne,
when this little girl knocked on my door
She was a`crying for my money so I told her: Little honey,
I haven`t got enough. I need more!
But anyway I asked her to sit on my seat,
so I could mingle off her clothes and feel her heart beat
1st Chorus:
Everybody knows my name.
Everybody wants my fame.
There`s nobody I can blame.
Jamie Fame Flame, that`s my name. (Huh!)
2nd Verse:
The next day in the paper I read about a raper,
and a picture that was supposed to be me.
When I didn`t seem to care, and was walking down the stairs,
there was a crowd that were shouting on me;
They were jumping on my pictures, burning all my record,
closing down the fanclub, turning over my car!
So then I realized that they all were hypnotized,
and that I was no longer a star!
2nd Chorus:
Everybody hates my name
Maybe I should do the same
There`s just one man I can blame
Jamie Fame Flame, that`s my name
3rd Verse:
So when I woke up in the morning in the middle of a desert,
I found myself alone without clothes
I was a`freezin`, I was yawning but I met this little wizard,
and he taught me how to sing with my nose:
(Sing through you nose!!!:)
We sang a lot of songs of what is right and what is wrong,
I felt like if a was I a haze.
Then he took me to a cave where an elder woman sat
That was the place where I was ending my days!
3rd Chorus:
Everybody knew my name
Everybody wanted my fame
There`s just one man I could blame
Jamie Fame Flame was my name
(This is done from memory so there might be a few errors. Please correct me!)
Er der egentlig andre end danskere der l‘ser dette? Hvorfor s† skrive
p† engelsk?
