*********************
This is the main riff and rough sketch of the chords to Weezer's new
single "el Scorcho". And truthfully, that's all the song really is. It's a
cool tune. If anyone could figure out the solo and get it to me, that
would be great. It sounds kind of easy, I just don't have the time or
patience to figure it out. Have fun with it and never stop playing.

I wish I could get my head out of the sand
Because I think we'd make a great team
And you could keep my fingernails clean
But that's just a stupid dream I won't realize
And now I can't even look in your eyes
Without shaking and I ain't faking
I'll bring home the turkey if you bring home the bacon
(Chorus)
