          Af-ter mid - night   |

The solo is fairly basic and follows the progression of the
verse (2 times). I'm not typing it in, 'cause you should be
able to get it off the record. If not: improvise!


OUTRO:

We're gon-na  |

I hope this helps you master this tune, and remind you that if
you should ever come across any of J.J.'s stuff: POST IT!!

Phew!!!  I only have these tunes written in music (notes), and
the converting to TAB is bugging me although I know some of it
by heart. In the following I only give you the chord
structure. I just don't have the time to do everything...
If you really have trouble figuring out some parts: listen to
the records. If that doesn't help: Send me a line and I'll try
to help.
