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.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
                 I    W  a  n  n  a    B  e    S  e  d  a  t  e  d

                                  Artist:  Ramones


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

E                                      B               E
Twenty-twenty-twenty four hours to go     I wanna be sedated

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#
Just put me in a wheelchair get me to the show

C#                   F#
Hurry hurry hurry before I gotta go

C#                               F#
I can't control my fingers    I can't control my toes

   B           C#
Oh no no no no no



F# (2 measures)

Repeat last verse, then:


F#                   B              C#              F#
Ba-ba-bamp-ba     Ba-ba-ba-bamp-ba     I wanna be sedated

F#                   B              C#              F#
Ba-ba-bamp-ba     Ba-ba-ba-bamp-ba     I wanna be sedated


repeat and let F# ring to end

 B----------------------------
 G----------------------------
 D----------------------------
 A----------------------------
 E----------------------------
 
 
 	Over the E E E E A A A A B B B B E E E E part.
 
 	then it goes up a *full* step so that the chords are:
 
 	F# B C#
 
 	hopefully, that's enough explanation of this one.
 
 	Distort heavily, and make up your own lyrics as needed.
