Subject: CRD/TAB Rock and Roll-Runaways
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:
