Biography:
Ramones were a punk rock band that formed in Queens, New York, United States, in 1974. They are often cited as the first punk group. Despite achieving only limited commercial success, the band was a major influence on the punk rock movement both in the United States and the United Kingdom.
All of the band members adopted pseudonyms ending with the surname "Ramone", though none of them were related. They performed 2,263 concerts, touring virtually nonstop for 22 years.

All songs by Ramones except
Do You Wanna Dance? by Freeman
Surfin' Bird by White/Frazier/Harris/Wilson
Chords are mostly 5's but indicating this all the time would be a mess.
They're mostly 'major-like' anyway except for F#5 in Here Today, Gone
Tomorrow, which may even be F#m.
NC means no chord.
Lyrics are from uwp and were sent by Eric Wincentsen.
If you find an error, I'd be glad to hear about it. "

All songs by Ramones except
Do You Wanna Dance? by Freeman
Surfin' Bird by White/Frazier/Harris/Wilson
Chords are mostly 5's but indicating this all the time would be a mess.
They're mostly 'major-like' anyway except for F#5 in Here Today, Gone
Tomorrow, which may even be F#m.
NC means no chord.
Lyrics are from uwp and were sent by Eric Wincentsen.
If you find an error, I'd be glad to hear about it. "
