          Am  F#m E        F   F#m    F      Am
Electric guitar     is run over by a car on the
       F
highway

 Am         A#  G             C
This is a crime against the state
A#           F          C
This is the meaning of life.

Chorus:
Am
Tune this electric guitar
Tune this electric guitar
T-tune this electric guitar
Tune this electric guitar

Electric guitar
Is brought in to a court of law
Judge and the jury
Twelve members of the jury
All listening to records

Is this is a crime against the state?
Ah, this is the verdict they reach

Chorus:
Never listen to electric guitar
Never listen to electric guitar
Never listen to electric guitar
Never listen to electric guitar

Electric guitar is copied
Copy sounds better
Call this law of justice,
call this freedom and liberty
I thought I'd perjure myself
right in front of the jury

Is this a crime against the state?
No, this is the verdict they reach

Chorus:
Someone controls electric guitar
Someone controls electric guitar
Someone controls electric guitar
Someone controls electric guitar
