This is the title track to the epic second album of the fictitious

band Eddie and the Cruisers (who are really John Cafferty and the

Beaver Brown Band). The album was so ahead of its time, it was

rejected by the record label. After that, lead singer/songwriter/

guitarist Eddie Wilson was thought to have committed suicide.

His body and the mastertapes to Season in Hell were never found.

Verse:

G|----------------------------------------|  I didn't really tab
D|----------------7-5----------------7-5--|  the rhythm, but you
A|-----------5-7----------------5-7-------|  can figure it out.
E|--0--3--5------------0--3--5------------|

Chorus:

G|------------------------------|  The verse and chorus bass lines
D|-----5--3--3----5--5----5--7--|  are what the Cruisers bassist
A|--7----------3-------5--------|  plays, very 60's.  You can
E|------------------------------|  spice it up to fit your style.
