All songs by Ramones except
Do You Wanna Dance by Freeman
Surfin' Bird by White/Frazier/Harris/Wilson
Chords are mostly 5's but indicating this all the time would be a mess.
They're mostly 'major-like' anyway except for F#5 in Here Today, Gone
Tomorrow, which may even be F#m.
NC means no chord.
Lyrics are from uwp and were sent by Eric Wincentsen.
If you find an error, I'd be glad to hear about it. "
