There's not much to this. The sliding C# to D pattern is repeated
frequently between verses; the verses are built around D.
/ = slide up
Intro and between verses:

Lyrics (from liner notes on The Slider):
I see you walking, I see you talking
With all of my friends
I'm shadowed under, You're like some thunder
I wanna be your friend
I wanna call you, I wanna ball you
All night long
In winds of passion, My whip is lashing
I wanna get you and then
CHORUS:
OOO you're strange
Don't lame me baby strange
Don't lame me baby
The city's shaking, I ain't faking
Baby this is the end
I'm overloaded, My head's exploded
I wanna get you and then
CHORUS
Notes: The version on The Slider is in standard tuning. The version
in "Born to Boogie" is a half step higher. Marc Bolan doesn't use a
capo on this one, however, so he either tuned a half step higher or
the film maker (Ringo Starr!) sped it up a bit.
I'm curious if anyone else likes this song (or has even heard of this
song) and actually plans to try this tab. Please let me know if you
do! As always, corrections and comments are welcome.
