Tabbed by: Paul D.
E-mail: paintindablack31@sbcglobal.net
Tunning: Standard
This song is done with two guitars so I tabbed it out for two guitars but you
can play it with one just by playing the guitar 1 part when only guitar 1 plays
and then play guitar 2's part the rest of the time
Intro:
Guitar 1 plays this riff throughout the entire song without stop

Guitar 2 stops playing and guitar 1 continues playing. After guitar 1 plays its
riff twice guitar 2 starts the solo while guitar 1 continues. I didn't tab out
the solo so you need to get it somewhere else

| I read that it was partly because of this song that movies and TV had to start using numbers that began with "555" instead of actual ones. Too many areas had tons of people calling the actual number (their area code) 867-5309 and asking for "Jenny", which is really stupid but it was done. Now, I believe that in order to use someone's real phone number on-screen, you must have their permission. | |

| People assume that this is about a random number...I think he is either stalking her, or in love with her, or both - he truly loves her but is afraid to take that next step because of her beauty and resulting unattainability, so he has become 'disturbed' and it has transitioned to stalking. | |

| I'm thinking this guy, let's call him "C", really is in love with Jenny..... so in love, he can't control himself. To quote him, he thought about coming out publicly, but "lost my nerve". But in the end, he's got her number, but afraid he'll loss her, so he says: "Jenny don't change your number" He's also concerned he's "like the others before"..... but *we* all know, that's not true. ha. | |
