***Interesting fingering for E7:

****Note: although this is taken from the Bonzos version, the live GRIMMS version uses the same chords, but with more wild screaming and self-indulgent guitar solos!
*****Also: Although the song has a kind of "seventh" sound, major chords can also be substituted for the sevenths.
The humanoid scene is a wow and a scream, ain't that the truth!
