the solo sounds alright when i play it during the first solo thing take the plug in out
of the jack and tap it on you bridge rocking teh wah back and forth and in the second 
part of the solo turn one pickup to zero and flick the swith back and forth
i guess while the bass is playing the guitar part is easy enough for you to figure out

                                                     
  verse/bridge          chorus                      solo part 2

Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Charley Rhythm Player	#1 by Charley Hockin at Jul 21, 1972 at 1:18 PM EST
	Since everyone seems to have grabbed onto the Jackie Onassis part...It's a piece of early punk rock history, and props to Zack for the hat-tip to some true pioneers. If you notice, it seems not to fit with the rest of the song and there's a reason for that. That's a reference to one of the great early punk bands, Boston's Human Sexual Response. The song "I Want to be Jackie Onassis" was one of their signature hits, along with "What Does Sex Mean to Me" and "Guardian Angel". I only found this page because I was looking for the lyrics to HSR's Jackie O song, so I googled and ended up here. I(t was on HSR's seminal album "Fig. 14")

No Picture Satan SAF! Rhythm Player	#2 by Satan SAF! Lucifer at Sep 23, 1972 at 1:20 AM EST
	A shot in the dark: Some Laotian tragedy was usurped by the illness of an American icon. Some Googling shows that in the year Jackie got cancer, Lao saw efforts to clean up U.S. unexploded cluster bombs dropped during the Vietnam war. I couldn't seem to find anything else going on -- but it's not like that isn't something very important: http://www.itvs.org/bombies/bombs.html

No Picture Grunge Hamster Lead Player	#3 by Grunge Hamster at Feb 5, 1975 at 12:02 AM EST
	the part with "I wanna be Jackie onassis". Is that some kind of sarcasm, because I can't see no glory in to be a girl who can't go anywhere in private?! Anyway, great song. I like what Brad Wild does with drums in this song because it isn't the Brad Wilk I am used to see. (He is allways great on drums)

No Picture Chris Rhythm Player	#4 by Chris Pray at Dec 28, 1975 at 5:41 AM EST
	they won a grammy for this song, and for any of you who missed watching the show that year, this is hilarious: http://www.ratm.com/new2/timbrokeit.html way to go, tim!

	Perhaps there might be a little bit of sympathy for President Kennedy and not sarcasm. Kennedy had his faults be he was very anti-establisment and attempted to change a great deal (although sometimes slowly) and his brother was the greatest liberal hope for America since the time of the revolutionaries. Being that Jackie Onassis uttered these exact same words when JFK was shot may recall the horror of that moment. JFK was likely killed by a rght wing conspiracy and had he lived almost certinly would have ended the Vietnam war. I believe that rage is recalling the fact that every great hope for America JFK... Dr King.... RFK eventually is killed by the brutal right wing. "were already dead" may refer to anyone who attempts to change things. I do have trouble with rage seeing the right wing assasination of a liberal president with sarcasm

No Picture A.K.A. Steven Average	#6 by A.K.A. Steven Stelacio at Feb 1, 1988 at 11:35 PM EST
	Just because a person makes a spelling mistake does not make them dumb, plus i don't think he gives a shit because he wrote it over half a year ago! Now stop trying to make yourself feel superior by pointing out peoples shortcomings.

No Picture devon Average	#7 by devon at Dec 22, 1999 at 4:28 AM EST
	I agree with Nameless, though I have to admit I really had no clue what this song was about before reading the interpretation. The only thing I was sure about was the line about Jackie Onassis and "Oh, oh, oh please don't die." I thought this was Zack being sarcastic about either JFK's death or about her cancer.
