Rock and roll runaways   Velvet Underground









This is the same song originally done by the Velvet Underground.
It was done on the Runaways(Joan Jetts' first band) first release
and it features a real cool riff.  The song is in 4/4 and we used
to start it by having the drummer play a steady beat on the cow
bell.  Here is our arrangement:
