Verse:

	 C#
	I'd go down to the Strip tonight
	I'm not on a stay-home trip tonight
	Long hair seems to be the main attraction
	But the heat is causing all the action

Pre-chorus:

	A#m       A     A#m    C#
	Bright lights everywhere
	 G      A         A#m          C#
	Pretty girls with long blonde hair
	G       A       A#m        C#         A    G
	But somehow the people   they don't care

Chorus:

	    C#   Em/B        A
	It just doesn't seem fair
	    C#                Em/B     A
	To bug you 'cause you got long hair
	 C#      Em/B    A               G
	Even the parents are beginning to stare

Post-chorus:

	 B  [continue with intro riff]
	Because of the sirens on our streets
	They used to be neat
	But now it's just a place for black and white cars to race
	It's causin' a riot
	It's causin' a riot, yeah

[guitar solo over intro riff, 8X]

[repeat pre-chorus]

[repeat chorus]

[repeat post-chorus]

Coda [ranted over intro riff]:

	It's causin' a riot
	It's causin' a riot, everywhere
	People   runnin' around, riots everywhere
	Pushin', pushin', pushin' everywhere [fade]
