    I BELIEVE IN MIRACLES 3.20 (Dee Dee Ramone/Daniel Rey) 
  
  
 [ B    F#  G    E ] x3 
  
 A 
  
  
 B        F#      G        E 
 I used to be on an endless run 
 Believe in miracles 'cause I'm one 
 I have been blessed with the power to survive 
 A                                    E 
 After all these years I'm still alive 
  
  
 I'm out here cookin' with the band 
 I am no longer a solitary man 
 Every day my time runs out 
 Lived like a fool, that's what I was about, oh 
  
  
    B       A    G 
    I believe in miracles 
    I believe in a better world for me and you 
    Oh, I believe in miracles 
    I believe in a better world for me and you 
  
  
 E 
  
  
 Tattoo your name on my arm 
 I always said my girl's my good luck charm 
 If she could find a reason to forgive 
 Then I could find a reason to live 
  
 I used to be on an endless run... 
  
    I believe in miracles... 
  
  
 A                             G 
 I close my eyes and think how it might be 
 A                         G                  A 
 The future's here today, it's not too late, it's not too late, yeah!

    ZERO ZERO UFO 2.25 (Dee Dee Ramone/Daniel Rey) 
  
  
 [ E    G A A    A G E ] x2 
  
  
 E                       G  A 
 It landed in a field in Idaho 
 A                     A G   E 
 Where it came from, I don't know 
 E                        G    A 
 It did not look like it came from Japan 
 A                      A G  E 
 And out of the dark walked a strange man 
  
  
 If you think it's a pack of lies 
 I saw it happen with my own eyes 
 A million miles from the Milky way 
 A hundred years, a month, and a day 
  
  
    C                        [ E G A ] x2 
    Zero zero (zero zero) UFO 
  
  
    Zero zero... 
  
  
 B 
  
  
 When media writes the neon lights 
 Spaceship travels at the speed of light 
 A million stars in the sky 
 I here the Queen's on the alien's side 
  
 If you think it's a pack of lies... 
  
    Zero zero... 
  
    Zero zero... 
  
  
 B 
  
 [ E    G A A    A G E ] x4 
  
  
    Zero zero... 
  
    Zero zero... 
  
    Zero zero... 
  
    Zero zero...

    DON'T BUST MY CHOPS 2.28 (Dee Dee Ramone/Joey Ramone/Daniel Rey) 
  
  
 [ G  Bb  C  D ] x3 
  
 [ C  D ] 
  
  
 G            Bb          C         D 
 I'm sick and tired of you calling me names 
 I'm sick and tired of your childish games 
 I'm sick and tired of your bullshit brats 
 Cocaine stupor and anxiety attacks 
  
  
 Picked up the magazine, I see your face 
 You're nothin' boy, a goddamn waste 
 With the lamest fashions on your back 
 You're never happy, a hypochondriac 
  
  
    G                                             C Bb G 
    Don't bust my chops, baby, don't bust my chops 
    Don't bust my chops, baby, don't bust my chops 
  
  
 [ C  D  C ] x4 
  
  
 You're a styling queen and an alley cat 
 Too many chocolates keep a fat man fat 
 You're a pain in the ass, and your on the loose 
 All I get from you is your bad attitude 
  
 Dirty mouth, it's all I can bear 
 Get outta here bitch, 'cause you're nowhere 
 Always wearin' that cheap perfume 
 Can always tell when you're in the room 
  
    Don't bust my chops, baby, don't... 
  
  
 [ C  D  C ] x4 
  
 [ G  Bb  C  D ] x3 
  
 [ C  D ] 
  
  
    Don't bust my chops, baby, don't... 
  
    Don't bust my chops, baby, don't...

    PUNISHMENT FITS THE CRIME 3.05 (Dee Dee Ramone/Richie Stotts> 
  
  
 [ A  C  D  C ] x2 
  
  
 A          C          D        C 
 I hear the bells of freedom chiming 
 And inside my heart I feel I'm dying 
 Wise guys never compromise 
 They they loose their rights and they act surprised 
 Jail really cuts ya down to size 
  
  
            A          F        G 
    Let the punishment fit the crime 
    The footprints on the sign the time 
    The philosophy of warish crime 
    Make a man humble in his prime 
  
  
 You can go up, down, or sideways 
 Be on Death Row, counting the days 
 They say the answers are blowin' in the wind 
 And to take yourself out would really be a sin 
 You just have to cope and start over again 
  
    Let the punishment fit the crime... 
  
  
 [ F  A  -  A B C F ] x3 
  
 G + C F G G G F 
       F G G G F 
  
  
 Little child cries in his sleep 
 And life makes promises it can't keep 
 And then you had, had enough 
 You realize somehow, someway 
 Your destiny was planned from the very first day 
  
    Let the punishment fit the crime... 
  
    Let the punishment fit the crime... 
  
    Let the punishment fit the crime 
    Let the punishment fit the crime 
    Let the punishment fit the crime 
    Let the punishment fit the crime

    PALISADES PARK 2.20 (Charles Parris) 
  
  
 [ G  E ] 
  
  
 G 
 Last night I took a walk in the dark 
 E 
 To a place called Palisades Park 
 C                                          D 
 To have some fun, to see what I could see, that's where the girls are 
  
  
 I took a ride on the shoopty shoop 
 The girl I sat with almost, almost puked 
 And when it stopped, she was holding hands with me 
  
  
                            C 
    My arms were flying up, like a rocket ship 
     E 
    Down, like a roller coaster 
     C 
    Fast, like a loopty loop 
     D 
    Then around, like a merry-go-round 
  
  
 We even at a hot dog stand 
 Slam danced to a rockin' band 
 And when she winked, I gave that girl a hug, in the tunnel of love 
  
  
 C 
 You'll never know how good it just can feel 
 E 
 'Til it stops at the top of the ferris wheel 
 C             D 
 I fell in love, down at Palisades Park 
  
  
 [ G  E ] x2 
  
 [ C  D  F#\G ] 
  
  
 Last night I took a walk in the dark... 
  
 I took a ride on the shoopty shoop... 
  
    My arms were flying up, like a rocket ship... 
  
 We even at a hot dog stand... 
  
 You'll never know how good it just can feel...

    PET SEMATARY 3.30 (Dee Dee Ramone/Daniel Rey) 
  
  
 [ intro: riff x2 ] 
  
  
 [ riff ] 
 Under the arc of a weather stain boards 
 Ancient goblins, and warlords 
 Come out of the ground, not making a sound 
 The smell of death is all around 
  
  
 C                      D 
 And the night when the cold wind blows 
 C        D              Bb    C 
 No one cares, noobody knows 
  
  
    D                 F          C        Bb 
    I don't wanna be buried in a pet sematary 
    D                C             Bb     C 
    I don't want to live my life again 
  
  
    I don't wanna be buried... 
  
 Follow Victor to the sacred place 
 This ain't a dream, I can't escape 
 Molars and fangs, the clicking of bones 
 Spirits moaning among the tombstones 
  
 And the night, when the moon is bright 
 Someone cries, something ain't right 
  
    I don't wanna be buried... 
  
    I don't wanna be buried... 
  
  
    Bb   D             Bb   C

 E---------------------------------------------| 
  
  
 The moon is full, the air is still 
 All of a sudden I feel a chill 
 Victor is grinning, flesh rotting away 
 Skeletons dance, I curse this day 
  
 And the night, when the wolves cry out 
 Listen close and you can hear me shout 
  
    I don't wanna be buried... 
  
    I don't wanna be buried...
