Hey guys. This is one of the best punk covers ever, in my opinion.
Listen to the song (A LOT) and use your own judgment.  Play
the song how YOU hear it, and chances are it’ll sound fine.  

Here are the rhythm guitar parts.  I’m not sure about the strumming or 
how many times each chord is played, and I’m pretty sure it changes 
through the song.

Rhythm Figure 1 (verse):

    A5	        E5	            B5
e|----------------|----------------|----------------|
B|----------------|----------------|----------------|
G|--2--2--2--2-2--|----------------|--4--4--4--4-4--|

E|----------------|--0--0--0--0-0--|----------------|

    D5
e|----------------|
B|----------------|  NOTES: the A5 chord can also be played 577xxx.
G|--7--7--7--7-7--|  Also, when you see the * in the second and third 
D|--7--7--7--7-7--|  verses, it means you need to play this figure 2 
A|--5--5--5--5-5--|  times softly and then 2 times in the normal style. 
E|----------------| 

Rhythm Figure 2 (chorus):

    F#5	          G5
e|------------------|------------------|  The last time you play this
B|------------------|------------------|  (the third time in the second
G|------------------|------------------|  chorus during the lyrics
D|--4-4-4-4-4-4-4---|--5-5-5-5-5-5-5---|  “Just like heaven”), play the
A|--4-4-4-4-4-4-4---|--5-5-5-5-5-5-5---|  G5 chord only once (it’s easy
E|--2-2-2-2-2-2-2---|--3-3-3-3-3-3-3---|  to hear on the recording).

Now it gets a little trickier: the lead guitar parts. There’s a wah
pedal.

Lyrics and song structure:

VERSE 1 (Rhythm figure 1 (x4), both guitars)
“Show me, show me, show me how you do that trick,
The one that makes me scream,” she said,
“The one that makes me laugh,” she said,
And threw her arms around my neck.

“Show me how you do it, 
And I’ll promise you, I promise that
I’ll run away with you, 
I’ll run away with you.”

INTERLUDE 1 (Rhythm figure 1 (x2), Interlude 1 riff)

VERSE 2 (Rhythm figure 1* (x4), both guitars)
Spinning on that dizzy edge,
I kissed her face, I kissed her neck.
I dreamed of all the different ways
I had to make her glow.*

“Why are you so far away,”
She said, “Why won’t you ever know
That I’m in love with you,
That I’m in love with you?”

CHORUS 1 (Rhythm figure 2 (x3), both guitars)
You
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You
Strange as angels

INTERLUDE 2 (Rhythm figure 3, both guitars)
Dancing in the deepest oceans,
Twisting in the water
You’re just like a

BRIDGE/SOLO (Rhythm figure 1 (x4), Bridge/solo)
Dream,
You’re just like a dream.

VERSE 3 (Rhythm figure 1*, both guitars)		NOTE: in this part,
Daylight whipped me into shape,			there is some 
I must have been asleep for days.			confusion on the 
And moving my lips to breathe her name,		lyrics.  This is how 
I opened up my eyes*				it appears on the 	                                                   Goldfinger website,
