Album

Here is the Ramones first album powerchord masterpiece.
I left off Blitzkrieg Bop since it’s been done to death.
For the full effect, play like Dee Dee and barre the fifth on your power chords
for depth. ( on a D, instead of -7- play -7-------------------- )
                       -7-         -7-------------------------- )
                       -5-         -5-------------------------- )
                                               ---          -5- )
