The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Twist
by Bradley J. Melody

This tablature is not musically correct; the timing needs to be figured out by ear. Tabbing out each measure accurately would have been a pain, and after all, this is rock and roll.

Okay, here's the beginning part; it's just you and the drums:
+------------+------------+------------+------------+
|------------|------------|------------|------------|
|------------|------------|-5-5-5-55---|------------|
+-5-5-5-55---+-5-5-5-55---+------------+-5-5-5-55---+

+------------+------------+------------+
|------------|------------|------------|
|-7--77-77---|-5--55-55---|------------|
+------------+------------+-5-5-5-55---+



Here's the main riff of the song, repeated for the verses and the solo. It's a really simple blues arpeggio that, when played really fast, is very impressive. This riff is where "spider van" came from, so when you play it, don't be surprised if people start calling you "locust melody" or something.
+------------+------------+----454-----+------------+

|--47---74---|--47---74---|-5----------|--47---74---|

"drivin..."   "no one..."  "jus lookin" "thought it"

+------------+------------+
|---696-474--|----454-----|

 "oh yeah"    "-out..."



pre-chorus, or "bit" as we used to call it:
