O.K., here’s a real easy but fun T. Rex tune from the “Electric
Warrior” album. I believe the LP had the lyrics, but my copy was
lost ages ago and I’ve had to rely on my ear and the CD (minus
printed lyrics, of course) for the words. There are three spots
where I just plumb DON’T KNOW what he’s saying, and I’ve indicated
these with question marks and nonsense words. If anyone has the
correct lyrics, please let me know.

Oh girl I’m just a jeepster for your love

Lyrics (as I hear them):

You’re so sweet, You’re so fine
I want you all and everything jit-jit (?) to be mine
Cause you’re my babe, cause you’re my love
Oh girl I’m just a jeepster for your love

You slide so good with bones (?) so fair
You’ve got the universe reclining in your hair
Cause you’re my baby, yes you’re my love
Oh girl I’m just a jeepster for your love

Just like a car you’re pleasing to behold
I’ll car you Jaguar if I may be so bold
Yes you’re my baby, yes you’re my love
Oh girl I’m just a jeepster for your love

Your wild wings glow upon your frozen cheeks
The way you flip your head (?) it always makes me weak
Cause you’re my baby, yes you’re my love
Oh girl I’m just a jeepster for your love

Your motivation is so sweet
Your vibrations are burning out my feet
Cause you’re my baby, yes you’re my love
Oh girl I’m just a jeepster for your love
I said girl i’m just a vampire for your love
And I’m gonna suck you

Notes: Marc Bolan occasionally plays A rather than A7 in the main
riff. He also sometimes uses Dsus4 in combination with the D in
the “I’m your babe…” part.

The version on “Electric Warrior” is in standard tuning. The version
in the “Born to Boogie” film is a half step higher.

O.K., here’s a real easy but fun T. Rex tune from the “Electric
Warrior” album. Lyrics should be close to correct thanks to
help from R.J. Campbell. As with my tab of “Baby Strange,”
this one was assisted by Marc Bolan himself by way of the
movie “Born to Boogie.”

I LOVE TO BOOGIE – T REX Tabbed by Roj Vincent

A alternating A sus
We love to boogie, we love to boogie

D alt D sus A alt A sus
Jitterbug boogie, Bolan pretty boogie

E alt E sus A alt A sus
We love to boogie, on a Saturday night

A
Belinda Mae’s Fender’s got a Cadillac Bone

Jenny’s lost her cherry walking all the way home

D
The passions of the Earth blasted it’s mind

A
Now it’s neat sweet ready for the moon based grind

E
We love to boogie

A
We love to boogie on a Saturday night

I said, we love to boogie

We love to boogie

D A
High school boogie, jitterbug boogie

E A
We love to boogie on a Saturday night

Instrumental break…………. A D A E A

A
You rattlesnake out with your tailfeathers high

Jitterbug left and smile to the sky

D
With your black velvet cape and your stovepipe hat

A
Be-bop baby the dance is where it’s at

E
I love to boogie

A
Yes I love to boogie on a Saturday night

I said I love to boogie

I love to boogie

D A E A to fade

I think the words are about as good as I’ve seen. The chords need to be played with a
rhythm between A and A sus, D and D sus, E and E sus as I’ve tried to show in the first
You’ll get the hang of it listening to the record. It’s quite quick.

Have Fun……….:-) Roj

Cosmic Dancer

T.Rex – ”Cosmic Dancer”

Written By: Marc Bolan

(G)I was dancing when i was twelve (Em)

(G)I was dancing when i was twelve (Em)

(F) I was dancin when i was aah (C)

(F) I was dancing when in was aah (C)

This verse (with changed lyrics) is repeated a few more times before Marc adds

a little change on the end, when he goes ooh, ooh, oohooh.

It plays:

(Am) aaah, (D) aaah, (D7) aaah aaah.

This is a cool, groovy and funky song. It’s in chord format but is still very enjoyable.

(G)I was dancing when i was twelve (Em)

(G)I was dancing when i was twelve (Em)

(F) I was dancin when i was aah (C)

(F) I was dancing when in was aah (C)

This verse (with changed lyrics) is repeated a few more times before Marc adds

a little change on the end, when he goes ooh, ooh, oohooh.

It plays:

(Am) aaah, (D) aaah, (D7) aaah aaah.

This is basically the whole of the verses before Marc Pplays the lead. It is

simple but very enjoyable. Enjoy!

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!
