On the Fritz

Their may be some screw-ups in here, but this is the way I play it...
and it sounds pretty good.  If anyone has a different way of playing
it send it to me.

(Bass guitar just plays "D" thru the verse... then follows the guitar
in the chorus).

b = bend
~ = vibrato
/ = slide  up
(verse riff-type-thing)
   b     ~~(I use vibrato here...I'm not sure if he does it though)
|----------------------------------------------------------||
|----------------------------------------------------------||
|----------------------------------------------------------||
|------7/10-------------------------------------------9----||
|--7-5------------------------------------------------7----||
|----------------------------------------------------------||
     He wished to right the wrongs, He sang religious songs

 ** On the last line in the verse he does a swell on "D"

(chorus-- ah how cool it is)
|-----------------------------------------||  You have to figure out the
|-----------------------------------------||  phrasing for yourself.
|-----------------------------------------||  This could be the right
|--7-7----------5--5-5-5--9-9-9--8-8-7-7--||  strum pattern... but then
|--7-7----------5--5-5-5--9-9-9--8-8-7-7--||  again...
|--5-5----------3--3-3-3--7-7-7--6-6-5-5--||
   On the Fritz

(The cool bridge riff)
|----------------------------------------------||  Again I don't know if
|----------------------------------------------||  this the accurate way
|----------------------------------------------||  of doing it... but it
|--3-------------------------3---3---3---3--3--||  sounds good... that's
|--3-------------------------3---3---3---3--3--||  why I do it.
|--1-------------------------1---1---1---1--1--||
   So the crowds grew and the praise did too,

|---------------------------------------||
|---------------------------------------||
|---------------------------------------||
|--5---------------------5--5--5--5--5--||
|--5---------------------5--5--5--5--5--||
|--3---------------------3--3--3--3--3--||
   and a mailing list sent you the money

And if anyone has the time to figure out the solo... please send me a
copy.  If you have any questions about wording (that I left out [hey
I had to leave something for you to do] ) write me and I will try to help.
