I'm surprised nobody had even posted the lyrics to this one anywhere on the net, let alone the tabs!  Definitely one of the best songs to come out of the 90's.

I've transcribed the main riff, the rundown riff just prior to the choruses, and included lyrics & chords as well.  Enjoy  :-)

CHORDS & LYRICS:


A7
Listen to the sounds of the revolution
Everybody's out on the street tonight


A7          D7
Everybody's cool
A7             D7
Everything's alright

You better pray that your old man
D7
Don't get home tonight


A7
When we drive my car where the wild things are
        D7         A7
I got a green limousine
     A7
Everyone's a star but they won't get far
          D7         A7
Without a green limousine


Someone burn the flag of the old convention
Set the wheels in motion here tonight


Everybody's cool
Everything's alright
Got a feeling in my bones
We're gonna get it on tonight


When we drive my car where the wild things are
I got a green limousine
Everyone's a star but they won't get far
Without a green limousine


     F#m        D
Well no need to get uptight
F#m   F#m7    F#m6   F#aug
I got room to spare
F#m  F#m7    D
Prophets and sweet hitckhikers
F                  G
I'm gonna take you where...


Everybody�s cool
Everything�s alright
I got a feeling in my bones
We�re gonna get it on tonight


People drive your car where the wild things are
I got a green limousine
I'm a shining star, yeah I glide on tar
I got a green limousine


Jonah caught a whale, put it up for sale
And bought a green limousine
Yeah I got hidden lens, black money
And a green limousine


(adlib til end)
