This is Cool. The Dolls got it rocking right from the beginning with this
one; first album, first song and Johnny kept it going throughout his solo
career. If you ever sit back and start to wonder, what is cool? This is Cool.
Written by Thunders/Johansen you can find this in a number of places including
New York Dolls, Bootlegging The Bootleggers and Live at the Lyceum Ballroom.
The sound sample included here (DD's
Crisis - 179KB) shows the basic rhythm pattern for the song and the fingering
for the lead . The tabs for it are at the bottom of the page. It starts in C
and gets into a Chuck Berry shuffle. If your not familiar with the fingering
for the shuffle just drop me a line..DD.
