Avengers Superbad

This is a simple song with a repetative chord sequence

E
superbad tiger running with your brain,

tucked beneath your arms like a devil’s train
A
when the angels from the heavens meat the angels from the earth
E
we’ll hide inside our cave aha that’s right of course

G A E
and we know, we ain’t slow we’re the avengers

E
i’ve known lots of ladies

and the ladies know me

i’ve been foxy roxy punctured and I’m funky born free
A
you can needle treacle kiss me with the honey from your mouth
E
but belive me I’m a bad moon bopster

and i’ll never come in your house

G A E
and we know, we ain’t slow we’re the avengers

20th Century Baby

T. Rex – 20th Century Baby

This is quite the pretty little song, and sounds great when played on an acoustic. I
it on the T. Rex “Work in Progress” 2 disc set, it appears on both discs in stripped-down
and full-band forms.

Enjoy!
