Here is another tab/chord chart for a song from the

I would be extremely interested in hearing from

I`m Straight
This song has pretty much the same structure throughout, like this:
E E C G (F) E
e--0---------------|-0-------------|-0-------------|------------0----|
B--0---------------|-0-------------|-1-------------|------------0----|
G--1---------------|-1-------------|-0-------------|------------1----|
D--2---------------|-2-------------|-2-------------|------------2----|
A--2---------------|-2-------------|-3-------------|-2----------2----|
E--0---------------|-0-------------|-X-------------|-3---2--0---0----|
Basically an E C G E pattern with a little bass run between the G and
the E. Repeat this pattern for the entire song, except where there are
single chords, as in the beginning. N.C. means no chord.
E N.C. E N.C.
I called this number three times already today
C N.C.
But I, I got scared, I put
G F E
It back in place, I put my phone back in place.
E
I still don`t know if I
E
should have called up.
C G F E
Look, just tell me why don`t ya if I`m out of place.
E
`Cause here`s your chance to make me feel awkward
C
And wish that I had
G F E
never even called up this place.
E
I saw you though today walk by with hippie Johnny.
C G F E
I had to call up and say how I want to take his place.
(and so on . . . . . . )
So this phone call today conerns hippie Johnny.
He`s always stoned, he`s never straight.
I saw you today, you know, walk by with hippie Johnny.
Look, I had to call up and say, I want to take his place.
See he`s stoned, hippie Johnny.
Now get this, I`m straight and I want to take his place.
Now look, I like him too, I like hippie Johnny.
But I`m straight
and I want to take his place.
I said, I`m straight
I said, I`m straight
I`m proud to say
Well I`m straight and I want to take his place.
Now I`ve watched you walk around here.
I`ve watched you meet these
boyfriends, I know, and you tell me how they`re deep.
Look but, if these guys, if they`re really so great,
tell me, why can`t they at least take this place
and take it straight? Why always stoned,
like hippie Johnny is?
I`m straight and I want to take his place.
Oh I`m certainly not stoned, like hippie Johnny is.
I`m straight and I want to take his place.
I said, I`m straight
I said, I`m straight
I`m
I`m straight and I want to take his place
All right you Modern Lovers what do you say?
(I`m straight!)
Tell the world now
(I`m straight!)
I said
(I`m straight!)
Yeah I`m straight and I want to take his place.
