 Verse:
 
  B                              
 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:
 
 Am       G     Am    C  
 Bright lights everywhere
  F#      G         Am          C  
 Pretty girls with long blonde hair
 F#       G       Am      C         G  F# 
 But somehow the people they don't care
 
 Chorus:
 
     B   D#m/A#        G# 
 It just doesn't seem fair
     B                D#m/A#     G# 
 To bug you 'cause you got long hair
  B      D#m/A#    G#               F#  
 Even the parents are beginning to stare
 
 Post-chorus:
 
   continue with intro riff 
 B 
 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 chorus 
 
 
 repeat post-chorus 
 
 
      ranted over intro riff 
 Coda :
 
 It's causin' a riot
 It's causin' a riot, everywhere
 People runnin' around, riots everywhere
                                      fade 
 Pushin', pushin', pushin' everywhere
