   Billy rapped all night about his suicide, 

            Bm                              D/A 
   How he'd kick it in the head when he was twenty-five 

   F#m                                A              Asus4  A 
   Speed jive, don't wanna stay alive   when you're  twenty-five 

       D                             Dmaj7 
   And Wendy's stealing clothes from Mark's & Sparks and 

   Bm                      D/A 
   Freddy's got spots from ripping off the stars 

   F#m                            A          Asus4  A 
    From his face - a funky little boat race 


   PRE-Chorus: 

       Em                Em7 
   The television man is crazy 

                F#                  Bm 
   sayin' we're juvenile delinquent wrecks 

         G              D               A        Asus4  A 
   Oooh, man, I need a TV when I've got  T. Rex 


   Oh brother, ya guessed - I'm a dude yeah 


   {In the Chorus, the words in ( ) is the stuff that 
    the lead singer's saying.} 


   Chorus: {see below for the electric guitar} 


   D     Dmaj7           Bm 
         All the young dudes (hey, dudes)

   What the electric guitar is doing in the Chorus is basically 
   just picking out the bass line. If you're playing this in a 
   band with an electric, the electric should play this:

   VERSE 2: {play like verse 1} 


   Lucy's looking sweet, coz he dresses like a queen, 
   but he can kick like a mule, its a real mean team 
   But we can love, oh yes, we can love 
   And my brother's back at home with his Beatles and his Stones 
   We never got it off on that revolution stuff 
   What a drag - too many snags 


   PRE-Chorus: {play like first pre-Chorus} 

   Well I drunk a lotta wine and I'm feelin' fine 
   Gonna race some cat to bed 
   Is that concrete all around or is it in my head? 
   Yeah, I'm a dude yeah
