I just sat down and figured this out yesterday. I'm not sure it's all right,
but here it goes. There is one chord I am not sure what it is called, I think
it's an E6, That is how I will note it, it looks like this:E A D G B e
| | | o | |
|-|-|-|-|-|
| | o | | |
|-|-|-|-|-|

Play the D chord like the one Eddie Van Halen uses in 316. For those who
don't know it looks like this:
e------------------------------
B--------------3---------------
G--------------2---------------
D--------------4---------------
A------------------------------
E--------------X---------------
I think this sounds a lot better than just using a regular D chord.
Anyway, the above so-called E6 chord should also be used. Here it
is again in the same format I used to tab the above chord:
e------------------------------
B------------------------------
G--------------1---------------
D--------------2---------------
A------------------------------
E------------------------------
*****************************************************************************
The first part (the heavy part) just goes A, E6, A, E6, D
with the little peck: D------0-0-
A--0-2-----
E----------
Then: A E6 D E6
little ditty, about Jack and Diane
A E6 D E6 A
Two American kids growing up in the heartland
A E6 D E6
Jackie gonna be a football star
A E6 D E6 A
Diane's debutante in th back seat of jackie's car
(same for every verse)
in-between:
A
e-------------------------------------
B----2-3-2-
G----2-2-2-
D----2-2-2-
A----0-0-0-
E----------
E, D,D, E
A
e-------------------------------------
B----2-3-2-
G----2-2-2-
D----2-2-2-
A----0-0-0-
E---------
E, D,D, A
CHORUS:
A E6 D E6
Oh Yeah, life goes on
A E6 D E6
Long after the thrill of livin' is gone
A E6 D E
Oh Yeah, I said, Life goes on
A E D E A
Long after the thrill of livin' is gone.
The rest is just different words to the same stuff above.
