Trucking down by the roadside, Met a man with a star hide
He said: "Boy, wouldn't you like to look?"
But could it

Give me love, gimme little love, gimme little love from her heart
2nd time - God's
Gimme love, gimme little love from her heart and then we'll walk

I said: "Girl, wouldn't you like to rock?"
But could it
Chorus
3. Walking down by the west wind, I met a boy he was my friend
I said: "Boy, we could sing it too" and we do - oo
Give us love - give us little love, give us little love from your hearts
Give us love - give us little love from your hearts
And then we'll walk

No you won't fool the children of the revolution
No you won't fool the children of the revolution

a little change on the end, when he goes ooh, ooh, oohooh.
It plays:
Am aaah, D aaah, D7 aaah aaah.

The above tabs are for the patterns played over the E and A chords
throughout most of the song. One varient of the Ep pattern is used
a few times (Ev), just before the chorus. Sometimes the open strings
are picked as indicated, other times they are just left ringing after
the first pick...play around with your own varients to break up the
monotony.
The above bar chords sound reasonable behind the chorus. They are
designed for ease of playing...thats the whole point of this song!

Intro
- Whatever happened to the teenage dream? (yeah)
Surprise surprise the boys are ho--me
My guardian angel's rung down my telepho-ne
The heat's on Mister can't you hear them scream
- Whatever happened to the teenage dream? (yeah)
The curfew comes at the crack of night
The sad old wino aches to disipate the fright
A jet-jump jiver speeds past in his machine - but
- Whatever happened to the teenage dream? (yeah)
A broken God from a rusty wor--ld
Sweetly mouth-touched an onyx gi--rl
His prison bars were very hard to clean but
- Whatever happened to the teenage dream? (yeah)
The Wizard of Oz and the bronzen thief
Ruled my girl with teutonic teeth
But all was lost when her mouth turned green
- Whatever happened to the teenage dream? (yeah)
The Silver Surfer and the Ragged Kid
Are all sad and rusty boy they don't have a gig--
Believe me Pope Paul my toes are clean
- Whatever happened to the teenage dream? (yeah)
Now - black is black and white is white
Some go to heaven and some get it light
my guard was a prude but his wicked screams
- Whatever happened to the teenage dream? (yeah)

T.Rex - "The Visit"
T.Rex
1970
Written By: Marc Bolan
My eyes went up it was sunrise
The sky turned black it was noon
A ship of the silverest metal
Shadowed out all of the moon
Truly I do love you-oo
Truly I do love you-oo
A shape that was golden and crimson
Ex-tended a claw to my frame
I sunk in the sand like an infant
I screamed but my tongue was lame
Truly I do love you-oo
Truly I do love you-oo
My heart on a platter they'd stolen
My eyes were of firey flame
A sound like a sweet dove I stuttered
And then the ship swam the skies again
Truly I do love you-oo
Truly I do love you-oo
Truly I do love you-oo
Truly I do love you-oo
