Tuning:

Hello all you Stray Cats fans! Here are the chords and some tabs for one of their catchiest tunes, Gina, from the Blast Off album. I've also included the guitar parts (the intro and the middle-part) in tablature. I'm pretty sure they all are right. If you have any comments and/or corrections then feel free to mail me at: Juhani.Laakso@uwasa.fi Enjoy! Juhani Gina by Stray Cats from the album Blast Off. (originally written by the Paine Brothers) Transcribed by Juhani Laakso. Guitar intro: For the simple solution, just play D E A four times. To make it more interesting, play the riff: D E A D E A e -----------------------------------------------------------| B -----------------------------------------------------------| G -----------------------------------------------------------| D -2-------0-0-0-0---------------0-0-0-0---------------------| A ---0-2-4---------4-2---0-0-2-4---------4-2---0-0-2-4-------| E ---------------------4---------------------4---------------| D E A D E A e ------------------------------------------| B ------------------------------------------| G ------------------------------------------| D -0-0-0-0---------------0-0-0-0------------| A ---------4-2---0-0-2-4---------4-2-2-0----| E -------------4----------------------------| 1. & 2. verse:

Well they ^Dsay Gina d^Eon't you ^Arun with him Because ^Dyou know t^Ehe trouble^A I've been in Oh ^Dthat wa^Es yes^F#mterday, oh listen when they say ^DGina,^E don^A't you run with him

Well they s^Day Gina, I'm^E a bad ^Amistake But that's ^Dthe c^Ehan^Ace you gonna have to take Well ^DI'm beggin^Eg on my^F#m knees, begging darling please Oh ^DGina, do^En't you^A run with him

Chorus (play arpeggio-style, except the last two rows):

Well ^BmGina, you'^Ere a young girl But I ^Bmthink you^E're old enough to decide ^BmThey think we^E're foolin' But ^DI can see the l^Eove in your eyes Oh ^DGina, do^En't you^A run with him

Hey! Guitar break: The simple way: play D E A twice and D E F#m once. The tablature for the guitar riff: D E A D E A e -----------------------0-----------------------0-----------| B -----------------------2-----------------------2-----------| G -----------------------2-----------------------2-----------| D -------0-0-0-0---------2-------0-0-0-0---------2-----------| A -0-2-4---------4-2---0-0-0-2-4---------4-2-2-4-0-0-2-4-----| E -------------------4---------------------------------------| D E F#m e -------------------------2-----| B -------------------------2-----| G -------------------------2-----| D -0-0-0-0-----------------4-----| A ---------4-2-------------4-----| E -------------0-2-2-2-0-2-2-----|

Oh ^DGina, do^En't you^A run with him

Chorus (arpeggio-style):

Well ^BmGina, you're a ^Eyoung girl But I ^Bmthink you're old enough to ^Edecide (to sigh?) ^BmThey think we're ^Efoolin' But ^DI can see the ^Elove in your eyes (non-arpeggio:) No! (No) No! (No!)

Listen when they say it baby 3. verse:

^DGina, don't you ^Erun with ^Ahim Because you ^Dknow the trouble ^EI've been ^Ain Oh ^Dthat was yester^Eday, oh ^F#mlisten when they say ^DGina, don't you ^Erun with ^Ahim Well they say ^DGina, don't you ^Erun with ^Ahim ^DGina, don't you ^Erun with ^Ahim Well they say ^DGina, don't you ^Erun with ^Ahim

Hey! The ending of the song: Play the guitar intro at the same time as you sing this line (listen to the record and you'll know how to time it right):

*(Don't listen baby) Well they^D say Gina, don't^E you run ^Awith him *play this 7 times

The guitar-part in the last line is just slightly different over the last two chords, try to find it out yourself, it's very easy.

(Don't li^Dsten baby) Gina^E, don't ^F#myou run with him Listen to the record and play with it! That is the easiest way to get the timing and the other things right.
