STORMTROOPER IN DRAG

basicj@garynumanfan.nu

Here's the guitar tab for the main guitar riff, played right up until the outro:

  E                C        D
E-------0--------------0--------2----
B-----------0------------1--------3--
G-----1-------1---------------2------
D-2-------------2----2------0--------
A------------------3-----------------
E------------------------------------

The bass plays the three root notes: E, C, and D, plus  a funky bit of ad-libbing during the outro.

During the outro, the keyboard plays:

A G# E F# D

This is more prominent in the live version on "Dark Light."
It also plays some variations of the guitar riff in an improvisational manner, so I didn't even try to work those out.  You could wing it pretty easily.

There are parts also where Gary plays an E on the synth.

Lyrics: (parts in parentheses aren't in the booklet, but are ad-libbed by Gary.  There are a couple of lines I can't even make out)

So here am I quite by chance by the phone
I could call and make you crawl into bed
Questions always questions
I'll just speak in slow motion
About obsessions with boys on the floor

Take that smile off your face
Wipe that tear from your eye
Don't say you're sorry for me

Now look at me like a stormtrooper in drag
And I'll let you feel exactly like I do
It's so disgusting I'm so tired of rhythm
And needles in arms
I don't want your point of view

Nothing to do
Nothing to steal
And there's nothing to say

(I don't cry)
Love it, love it,
I need to
(cries)

(I don't boys cry)
Love it, love it,
I need to

(I don't feel like)
Love It, love it
I need to
(Stop it)

(Like a boy underground
Like I feel)
