Quick and dirty:

Goofy's Concern [or whatever it's called]

Chords:

A5 F5 E5 C5 B5

e|---|  |---|   |---|   |---|   |---|
B|---|  |---|   |---|   |---|   |---|
G|---|  |-10|   |-9-|   |---|   |---|
D|-7-|  |-10|   |-7-|   |-10|   |-9-|
A|-7-|  |-8-|   |-7-|   |-10|   |-7-|
E|-5-|  |---|   |---|   |-8-|   |-7-|

|

The intro is an E with the 6th string [lowest pitch] open, and the next

two [A, D] fretted on the seconf. Hit that 3 times, hit the 6th string on

the 3rd fret [G], and then the E again.

The "chorus" of sorts is like this:

(Note: for the rest of this transcription, I probably have the number of

times you hit each chord worng. Just strum as fast as you can with only

down-strokes and change chords when your fingers cramp.]

A5 A5 A5 F5 F5 F5 F5\(E5) E5 E5 C5 C5 C5 E5 E5 E5 E5 E5 E5 E5 E5 A5 A5 A5 A5

C5 C5 C5 C5\(B5) B5 E5 E5 E5 A5 A5 A5

The "verse" [part where he sings] :

A5 A5 A5 A5 3 times C5 C5 C5 C5

The bridge is this cord:

some kind of mutant A:

e|---|
B|---|

G|-4-|

D|-5-|

A|-5-|

E|---|

strummed a few times, and then dropped down two steps. Do this a few times.

[You're going to have to listen to it to see what I mean]

Then play an E like in the intro [without doing the G thing]

In between the E's, do the single-note lines by just making them up.

WHO WAS IN MY ROOM LAST NIGHT?

I learned this off of a friend's cousin's dentist who got it from Guitar

for the Practicing Musician which he stocks in his waiting room. He's

from Seattle.

Drop down strings 1 whole step: [or drop just Low-E string down to D, and

play Rhythm 2 down 1 whole step from what it is listed here]

Rhythm 1: [one bar, all eight notes]

e|-----------------|
B|-----------------|
G|-----------------|
D|-----------------|
A|-----------------|
E|-0-0-3-5-3-0-0-0-|  play many times

Rhythm 2:

e|----------|            |-----------------|
B|----------|            |-----------------|
G|----------|            |-----------------|
D|-7-9--7-9-|            |-----5-7-5-------|
A|-5-7--5-7-| twice then |-5-7-------7-5-7-|
E|----------|            |-----------------|

You're going to have to get me some Suicidal Tendencies off of How will I

Laugh Tomorrow [Trip of the Brain, maybe?] if you want me to give those

damnably long solo's.

I'd do it for Della Brown by Queensryche too.

Have fun,
