Chords

I'll assume you know the rythm of the song and everything, so I'll just put the chords... I know the chords are right, but they add some weird notes to it I tried to get them right, this is the best I could do... Db7(#9): x4345x F#m^: xx4x55 This is what the 2nd guitar basically does while the other one plays the F#m7... Actually it only does the F#m^ chord, but I added the other part for you to understand the rythm...

[Intro] Db7(#9) F#m7 [Verse 1]
        F#m7
He walks alone under the big city lights

           F#m7                Db7(#9)
He always knows just when the time is right

          F#m7             A
He never shows what he's thinking

    B          D7
He keeps it inside

           F#m7   C#7      F#m7           Db7(#9)
Because he's too cool for school
[Verse 2]
          F#m7
He comes alive when the sun goes down

            F#m7
He gets it right

              Db7(#9)
You know he's always down

         F#m7    A            B           D7 
He's got one eye open and his ear to the ground

       F#m7   Db7(#9)    F#m7   Db7(#9)
Man he's too cool for school
[Chorus]
A
  He's an operator

C#7
  He's a real player

D
  And if you mess with him

Dm
  You know you'll never win

A
  He's an instigator

C#7
Enemy eliminator

D                                  Db7(#9)
  And when he knocks you better

Db7(#9)
 You better let him in
F#m7 [Verse 3]
             F#m7
He's got his own way of getting things done

           F#m7              Db7(#9)
He's always looking out for number one

F#m7          A                   B        D7
Don't try to beat him 'cause he's already won

       F#m7  Db7(#9)     F#m7    Db7(#9)
Man he's too cool for school
[solo]: F#m7 F#m7 F#m7 Db7(#9) F#m7 A B D F#m7 Db7(#9) F#m7 [Chorus]:
A
  He's an operator

  He's an instigator

          F#m7
