Here is a better interpretation of I Wanna Be Sedated by the Ramones
than either of the ones that are currently posted on the mirrors site.

B----------------------------
G----------------------------
D----------------------------
A----------------------------
E----------------------------

Over the E E E E A A A A B B B B E E E E part.
then it goes up a full step so that the chords are:
[F#] [B] [C#]
hopefully, that's enough explanation of this one.
Distort heavily, and make up your own lyrics as needed.
