             I Just Wanna Have Something To Do
                           by, The Ramones, as heard in the movie Rock and Roll 
high school(1978), and on their album Road To Ruin(1978)

        This is like the easiest song ever. Its like blitzkrieg bop 
type hard. Its repetition of the same three chords through the whole song 
structured in different ways. I know this is correct because i have a video of 
them playing this where the camera is so close on johnny you can count the frets 
and what string he is on. 
The Intro is like this.

D|77777-5-33333
A|77777-3-33333
E|55555-3-11111       do that twice.

then when joey starts singing play

D|77777-77-33-5
A|77777-77-33-5
E|55555-55-11-3

when joey starts singing "tooonight, tooonight, toonight"

D|33333333-55555555-7777777777777777 
A|33333333-55555555-7777777777777777
E|11111111-33333333-5555555555555555 (thats 8 for the first 2 and 16 times for 
the last one) Do this 4 or so times, maybe 3 and on the last one either the 4th 
or 5th time play the first two chords regularly and finish on the maybe you 
could call it a chorus riff which is just the intro riff while saying wait and 
now at the 5/5/3 chord. 

Then a verse , the tonight part, then the chorus, then another verse, same words
as the second verse, then tonight,theres some effects like really high notes on 
the last "tonights". the words are:

This is all my own work. Special thanx to the cameraman for getting close ups 
of johnnys guitars. questions or requests to tygistguitar@tumyeto.com.
