Cherry Bomb

CHERRY BOMB
by ASH from the album FREE ALL ANGELS

INTRO:

There’s a lot of feeding back and string scraping and stuff.
The bass plays the verse bassline twice, then the guitar starts playing the
verse riff.

VERSE 1:

C5         D5               G5
 Teenage queen, a sweet gamine
  C5       D5          G5
Immortal youth a libertine
C5       D5                G5
Is she real, or just a dream
   C5          D5             G5
My heart beats fast like benzadrine.

VERSE 2:
(C5-D5-G5 progression again)
She is out there on her own
Perfection in her chromosome
She walks by, I need to know
Blood red lips, soft as snow.
