"The Kid with the Replaceable Head" by Richard Hell & The Voidoids [Originally recorded on "Destiny Street", 1982] Standard Tuning (EADGBE) Transcribed by PAJ89 Lyric samples from: http://www.richardhell.com/lyrics4.html Intro/Verse |-D-|-B-|-G-|-A-|-E-| E|-5-|-2-|-3-|-5-|-0-| B|-7-|-4-|-3-|-5-|-0-| G|-7-|-4-|-4-|-6-|-1-| D|-7-|-4-|-5-|-7-|-2-| A|-5-|-2-|-5-|-7-|-2-| E|-x-|-x-|-3-|-5-|-0-| D B G A Too young to drink and too smart to think G E G A Attaches on his head with the missing link D B G A He's skinny as a snake and fast as a mink G E G A But he ain't for sale unless you add the kitchen sink [Repeat progression for following verses] Listen to the recording for the rhythm, it's relativley simple. The chords listed are in barre form: the D and B with the root on the 5th string and G, A, and E with root on the 6th string, but different combinations of barre or open chord forms should work fine if you want to switch them. Chorus Look out, here he comes again They say he's dead, he's my three best friends He's so honest that the dishonest dread Meeting the kid with the replaceable head [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/r/richard-hell/216910.html ] |Bm-|-C-| E|-2-|-3-| B|-3-|-5-| G|-4-|-5-| D|-4-|-5-| A|-2-|-3-| E|-x-|-x-| The rhythm guitar plays a Bm chord at the beginning of each line, while the lead plays the following line. It isn't perfect by any means, and you can substitute it with alternate lines from the B Minor Pentatonic if you'd prefer. E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|--------5---s5---5-5-x-3-x-2----------------------------------------------| G|-----s4-----s4---4-4-x-2-x-2----------------------------------------------| D|-4-4----------------------------------------------------------------------| A|-2-2----------------------------------------------------------------------| E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| D G A C Meeting the kid with the replaceable head! A short intstrumental section follows, which you can improvise over with a D Major/B Minor Pentatonic scale (they share the same notes, and thus have the same scale positions on the fretboard). The reason I make this distinction is because the key changes. Between 0.36 and 0.48, your ear should recognise the D Major tonality. After 0.48 until the instrumental finishes, you can hear it shift to B Minor - just be aware of that change so you can resolve your licks more appropriately. D D G G A A C Bop, Bop, Bop, Bop, Bop, Bop, Bop! |
