Comments: I worked this out playing open chords on an acoustic, if you're playing electric and want it to sound exactly John plays on the record you probably want to play the song with barre chords high up the neck.
Key of E
E-A You're taking all the sunshine away E-A Making out like you're the mainline - I knew that F#M B Cos you're a cool cat Tapping on the toe with a new hat A B Just cruising - driving along like the swing king E-A Feeling the beat of my heart E-A Feeling the beat of my heart F#M B You're a cool cat Coming on strong with all the chit-chat A B You're alright hanging out and stealing all the limelight A-B Messing with the beat of my heart B Messing with the beat of my heart
C#m-D
C#m D You used to be a mean kid Making such a deal of life C#m D You were wishing and hoping wand waiting to really hit the big time C#m D But did it happen, happen, no You're speeding too fast F#M A Slow down Slow down You'd better slow down D Slow down
E-A-E-A
E-A You really know how to set the mood E-A And you really get inside the groove F#M B Cool cat Tapping on the toe with a new hat A B Just cuising Driving along like the swing king A B Feeling the beat of my heart C#m D Feeling the beat of my heart - yeah yeah C#m-D Feeling the beat of my heart C#m-D Feeling the beat of my heart C#m-D Feeling the beat of my heart E-A Feeling the beat of my heart
