Verse 3: Back to section ‘Verse 2’ BEWARE: Some live versions of this song by the Cramps are played a semi-note higher (so in the of F instead of the ‘studio-version-E’). The chords would be E -> F, B -> Bb and B -> C. You can choose between these three options, if you wanna play the live version: 1. Play it in the key of F (with chords F, Bb and C). The single note’s would be a bit harder because the 0-notes become 1-notes, which will ask more action by your fingers. 2. Use a capo, set it on the 1st fret, and play the studio-version. 3. Tune your guitar-strings up one semi-tone (be careful, there is more pressure on the so they break much easier), and play the studio-version.
