               A
Well, I have a saturday nite drive in a subway train,
A
  a lotta speed inside my brain
Bm                 G    Bm                     G
Shakin' brakin' it loose,   the best that I can do

  A
I gotta get out gotta get out now,
A
  I wanna hear my wheels scream and shout
Bm             G      Bm                     G                     D
Get out of the subway,  get my wheels on the street and start motorvatin'

A
Runnin' all alone in a lowdown street,
A
  s-s-s-searchin' for my medicine

   I gotta drive rite into the fire
           F#                A                C#m
   and I'm burning, burning, burning I'm motorvatin'


      A
I got skintight jeans and high-heel shoes,
A
  a leather jacket and nothin' to lose
Bm               G      Bm                 G
  Gonna rock the nation   down the filling station

      A
Don't try to get a ride in my cadillac,
A
  you don't look good enough for that
riff
Sure I am a loner but I'm never alone I get by on my own

           F#     E      A               F#           A
   I gotta pull myself together, hey-hey-hey, hear me say

   I gotta drive rite into the fire

Riff in A x 1 (End)


-- TIPS ON PLAYING --

Riff in G (One character lenght means an 1/8 note.)

|--------|--------|--------|---------|
|--------|--------|--------|---------|
|--------|--------|--------|---------|
|-------0|--0-0---|----0---|----0----|
|-----02-|-----20-|---2-20-|---2-20--|
|3-3-3---|-------3|--3----3|--3----3-|

There actually is a triole on the last two
measures:
   -----
   -----
   -----
   ----0
   --02-
...-3---...


Riff in A (Last time only 3 measures)

|--------|--------|--------|---------|
|--------|--------|--------|---------|
|--------|--------|--------|---------|
|-------2|--2-2---|----2---|----2----|
|0-0-024-|-----420|--04-420|--04-420-|
|--------|--------|--------|---------|

Last notes on lead guitar (1/16 notes).

-------------|
4b6b42-----2-|
-------4-2---|
-------------|
-------------|
-------------|

The "4b6b4" means, bend up and back a full tone.

For the long A-chords try something like this on lead guitar.

|--------|--------|--------|--------|
|--------|--------|--------|11--33--|
|222-2---|-2--22--|--2-2---|00--00--|
|224-2---|-2--24--|--2-2---|22--22--|
|000-0---|-0--00--|--0-0---|--------|
|--------|--------|--------|--------|

I'm not saying it's exactly correct, but rather just an estimation with
the feel. What really gets played there seems to slightly vary from one
recording to another.
