I'm 90% sure the chords during the main section are A G A but my ear is admittedly terrible so take it with sufficient grains of salt. This is the way I play it, it's one of my favorites from the band.

For what it is worth, we are an original band but enjoy throwing our own take on a cover or two in here and there. Even more so, the situation has happened before where a band that we were playing with has dropped off of the bill at the last minute, putting us into a position to need a second set. Considering we have only been going strong since last summer, the notion of two sets of original material, without repeating anything, is a bit unrealistic...unless we throw together a set of subpar original material and that seems like even more of a waste of our time.

That's valid enough. A few covers are fine of course. Just hate to see bands trapped by having too many good covers overshadowing their originals. I'm very happy to see young bands like yourselves claiming your own place in the genre and helping push it forward.

This is great. I've been wanting to learn this one for a long time. Here a little touch up I did to Garret's. Even your bass player should be able to follow this.

Intro--
muted Am 4 measures

Single note descend a/c/b/a# X8

Verse:
Am/Em/G/Am X2
Gm/C#m/C
C/B/A#/Am (hold Am 4 measures)

verse:

Am/Em/G/Am X2
Gm/C#m/C
C/B/A#/Am (hold Am 4 measures)

Descending A/C/B/A# X8

Gm/C#m/c
C/B/A#/Am
C/B/A#/Am
C/B/Am/Gm
C/B/A/Am

C/B/A#/Am (Solo starts here)
C/B/A#/Am
C/B/Am/Gm
C/B/A/Am

C/B/A#/Am
C/B/A#/Am
C/B/Am/Gm
C/B/A/Am

C/B/A/Am
drum break 3 measures, kick reverb

Descending A/C/B/A# X4 (only 4 on the last time)

verse:

Am/Em/G/Am x4 (4 times on the last one)
Gm/C#m/C
C/B/A#/Am

Sweet! I'll be learning this one soon. Thanks guys!

This is nice...as it turns out, the only part I was not getting was the Gm/C#m/C part. It is strange that, for some reason, those chords were just not coming to me.

It wasn't until I wrote that all out that I realized I had been playing it wrong. As someone who used to listen to tons of Oingo Boingo and Slayer I figure I'd be able to recognize tritones pretty easily but I guess not. Oh well

At any rate, this thread has convinced me to start transcribing more songs so I can understand them a little better.

Hot Summer Comes Again!
Let's Go Beach! Let's Go Beach!

My method of finding chords is to listen to the bass, it's almost always playing the root in surf music.

Interestng combo! hahaha. I LOVE Boingo. I wish Danny Elfman would get his head out of his butt and do another Halloween show/tour with the band. Halloween just isnt the same without them

interesting,
I too am a fan of Oingo Boingo and Slayer.

I wish that Danny would do some music with Boingo again,
but I highly doubt it will happen.

Do you guys know about the local Boingo tribute band,
called "Dead Mans Party"?

I haven't seen them yet.
but I heard they are good,
and sometimes Johnny Vatos,
and John Avila will show up and play some songs with them.
