[A] [C#]
[B] [Em] Hey [F] guys and welcome to School of Punk, the only show that will teach you how to play
punk music with an acoustic guitar.
I'm your host Robert Bass and today we're gonna learn I Want to Be Your Boyfriend by The [D] Ramones.
It's a quite simple song to play, you just have to know two techniques which are the
power chord techniques in School of Punk number 1 explained and the punk music techniques
which is explained in episode number 2 on my School of Punk.
The chords are quite simple and again it's all power chords so you're gonna play [E] like
a A [A] [B] and [Em] B, classic major riff on the 7th fret of the E, the 5th fret of the A [B] and the 7th
fret of the B.
[A] I can't explain in detail so E is like 5th string 7th fret, 4th string
9th fret, 3rd string 9th fret, the A is like [D] 6th string 5th fret, 5th string 7th fret and
4th string 7th fret and the B is like 6th string 7th fret, 5th string 9th fret and 4th
string 9th fret.
That's the verse and the chorus [Em] so it goes like this.
[Am] [Em]
[A] [B] [Em]
[A] [Em]
[A] [B] The bridge [B] which is kinda like the pre-chorus as well, it [E] goes with the D and the [F#] A and
then ends up on the B so the D is [D] like on the 9th fret so 5th string 9th fret, 5th string 11, [C#] 4th string 11.
[A]
[C#] [E]
[C#] [A]
[C#] [B]
[E] And as you've noticed [G] I do the palm muting techniques which basically consists in putting
your palm on the bridge as much as close as possible as to the beginning [C#m] of the strings
otherwise you will lose the power of the song so make [C#] sure that it's right on the bridge,
your palm and you press the strings upside down.
So one more time.
