Biography:
Johnny Thunders, born John Anthony Genzale, Jr (July 15, 1952 - April 23, 1991), was a rock and roll guitarist and singer, first with the New York Dolls, the proto-punk glam rockers of the early '70s. During the late '70s, he was a familiar figure on the New York punk scene, both with The Heartbreakers and as a solo artist. His screeching, penetrating guitar sound is distinctive and highly influential in punk rock music. Thunders tangled with the demons of fame and drug addiction until his death on April 23, 1991 of a methadone overdose.

ONE TRACK MIND - Johnny Thunders and the Heartbreakers
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by:Kangaxxter
Email:n/a
Tuning:Standard
These are the rhythm chords for One Track Mind, done by ear. Transpose to key.
Notes at the bottom.
This song should be played quickly, with down strokes emphasizing stressed
lyrics (usually at the end of the verse). Keep in mind that the chord
changes are rather fast, so it might be easier to play Barre Chords. See the
recording off of L.A.M.F for Timing.
Intro:
C - D - F - G
Verse 1:
C
When I was born
D
I had to spit out a song
F
To live as I wish
G
I gotta swim like a fish
C
So I made a delusion
D
With creative confusion
F
I fixed up a track
G
And I don't look back
Chorus:
C G* F
I gotta one track mind**
I gotta one track mind**
I gotta one track mind
F G
Over you
Verse 2:
C
Everything's nice
D
When you're covered in ice
F
Then you open your eyes
G
And it's one big lie
C
Well, I feel right at home(?)
D
In a room of my own(?)
F
the rule book is finish
G
It says "don't come in!"
Chorus
Solo (don't know it, but just play the verse chords for the rhythm)
Chorus
Verse 3:
C
I got tracks on my arm
D
tracks on my face
F
There's tracks on the walls
G
They're all over the place
C
I don't think I'd miss it
D
If I had you to fix it
F
I just want you(?)
G
For just one night
Chorus (repeated until fade out)
Notes:
*play only root note
**Their are times when other singers yell out different things at this point
in the final 2 choruses. These shouts are "All the time," "Yeah, yeah," or
"Ain't got time."
(?) Could not understand the original lyric: this is the best guess.
