    vibrato the F# bends after the 1/2 0r 1/4 bend, it sounds far better

  • it's basically just that, I don't know if it has a name but for tabs
    sake I'll call it the 'A run'. Bolan played 'Get it on' (or Bang a gong
    for our American friends) with just one finger, I have tried it on
  • this and it doesn't make much difference to how it sounds ( and
    it makes you look crap)

    and it's plain to see...
  • begins with the A run and on see becomes a B run, as follows
     
    G-4-4-6-6-4-4-6-6
  • D-4-4-6-6-4-4-6-6

    verse 1
    A run
  • Friends say it's fine,
    Friends say it's good,
    Everybody says it's just like Robin Hood,
  • I move like a cat,
    talk like a rat,
    sting like a bee baby gonna be your man.

    bridge
     
  • A run
    And it's plain to see
    B run
  • You were meant for me
    E run
    I'm your toy, your 20th century boy
  •  
    chorus
    E F E
  • twentieth century boy
    E F E
    I wanna be your toy
  •  
    That's about it, as a bit of a tab virgin I
    don't know the best ways to write things out, but that is the best
  • I can do for now, there is a slight solo at the end which begins with
    a bend on the 14th fret 3rd string and moves down (or is it up)
    to the 15th fret 2nd string and then to the 1st srting.
