WWW.AZCHORDS.COM | New York Dolls - Personality Crisis Tabs | Ver. 1
I've always wanted to know this song, but there weren't any really complete tabs and I
to know what Thunders' was playing over that G chord. I'm sure there's tons of Dolls'
out there wanting to know this song, so I put this up! It's alll complete. BUT some info
you go strutting with this awesome song...Sylvain plays just C, D, and G chords in E
barres, with switches to sus4 on the G. That's it for Syl, so don't worry. But now the
Johnny Thunders' parts, his chord shapes for C, D, and G are in the A shaped barre so be
Also the lick he plays over G is on the bottom of the page. Well that's it! Just sneer a
and play with attitude.
