This song rules.  Garage rock bliss.  Puts me in a good mood every time.
I've tabbed the Johnny Thunder version but the Shondells and Don Fardon
versions are essentially the same.  (Theres also a Tom Jones version out there).
Something about the energy of the J. Thunder cut that rises above though.


Tuning: EADGBe
