First
Thing Wrong (Difford/Tilbrook)
INTRO: Root 6 barre power chords, A A G A; riff notes: A,C,D,C,A,G,E
(low E and A strings); then back to power chords A A G A; then release
a 2-string bend originating from (XXX66X) position but that has
already been bent to reach the tones at the seventh position, and add
two passing notes C (XXX5XX) and A (XX7XXX) to finish the lick. Then
back to power chords, A A G A A; riff again; power chords A A G A;
then ad lib based on A chord until verse 1.

But it's four in the morning, and I knock on the door

She says, "How you doin'?" and I say "I'm not sure."

I kick the bottles all downstairs,

Guys are freaking out -- so what? I don't care!

Did the first thing wrong, did the first thing wrong

Oh, eyes to the ceiling and pants on the floor, I did the F.T.W.
