Chord/Tab song: Gina

Hello all you Stray Cats fans! Here are the chords and some tabs
for one of their catchiest tunes, Gina, from the Blast Off album.
I've also included the guitar parts (the intro and the middle-part)
in tablature. I'm pretty sure they all are right. If you have any
comments and/or corrections then feel free to mail me at:
Enjoy!

Gina by Stray Cats from the album Blast Off.
(originally written by the Paine Brothers)

Guitar intro:
For the simple solution, just play D E A four times.
To make it more interesting, play the riff:

[D] [E] [A] [D] [E] [A]

e -----------------------------------------------------------
B -----------------------------------------------------------
G -----------------------------------------------------------
D -2-------0-0-0-0---------------0-0-0-0---------------------
A ---0-2-4---------4-2---0-0-2-4---------4-2---0-0-2-4-------
E ---------------------4---------------------4---------------

[D] [E] [A] [D] [E] [A]

e ------------------------------------------
B ------------------------------------------
G ------------------------------------------
D -0-0-0-0---------------0-0-0-0------------
A ---------4-2---0-0-2-4---------4-2-2-0----
E -------------4----------------------------

1. & 2. verse:

Well they say [D]Gina don't you [E]run with [A]him
Because you [D]know the trouble [E]I've been [A]in
Oh [D]that was yester[E]day, oh [F#m]listen when they say
[D]Gina, don't you [E]run with [A]him


Well they say [D]Gina, I'm a [E]bad mis[A]take
But that's the [D]chance you gonna [E]have to [A]take
Well I'm [D]begging on my [E]knees, [F#m]begging darling please
Oh [D]Gina, don't you [E]run with [A]him

Chorus (play arpeggio-style, except the last two rows):


Well [Bm]Gina, you're a [E]young girl
But I [Bm]think you're old enough to [E]decide
[Bm]They think we're [E]foolin'
But [D]I can see the love in your [E]eyes
Oh [D]Gina, don't you [E]run with [A]him
Hey!

Guitar break:
The simple way: play D E A twice and D E F#m once.
The tablature for the guitar riff:

[D] [E] [A] [D] [E] [A]

e -----------------------0-----------------------0-----------
B -----------------------2-----------------------2-----------
G -----------------------2-----------------------2-----------
D -------0-0-0-0---------2-------0-0-0-0---------2-----------
A -0-2-4---------4-2---0-0-0-2-4---------4-2-2-4-0-0-2-4-----
E -------------------4---------------------------------------

[D] [E] [F#m]

e -------------------------2-----
B -------------------------2-----
G -------------------------2-----
D -0-0-0-0-----------------4-----
A ---------4-2-------------4-----
E -------------0-2-2-2-0-2-2----- 

Oh [D]Gina, don't you [E]run with [A]him

Chorus (arpeggio-style):

Well [Bm]Gina, you're a [E]young girl
But I [Bm]think you're old enough to [E]decide (to sigh?)
[Bm]They think we're [E]foolin'
But [D]I can see the love in your [E]eyes
(non-arpeggio:)
No! (No) No! (No!)
Listen when they say it baby

3. verse:

[D]Gina, don't you [E]run with [A]him
Because you [D]know the trouble [E]I've been [A]in
Oh [D]that was yester[E]day, oh [F#m]listen when they say
[D]Gina, don't you [E]run with [A]him
Well they say [D]Gina, don't you [E]run with [A]him
[D]Gina, don't you [E]run with [A]him
Well they say [D]Gina, don't you [E]run with [A]him
Hey!

The ending of the song:
Play the guitar intro at the same time as you sing this line
(listen to the record and you'll know how to time it right):

(Don't listen baby) Well they say [D]Gina, don't you [E]run with [A]him
play this 7 times

The guitar-part in the last line is just slightly different over
the last two chords, try to find it out yourself, it's very easy.

(Don't listen baby) [D]Gina, don't you [E]run with [F#m]him


Listen to the record and play with it! That is the easiest
way to get the timing and the other things right.
