This song looks somewhat hard as a tab, but if you listen to the CD,
it's
reallyeasy. There's no leads or nothing, so it sounds dead unless you
play along with the CD,or have a horn section at your disposal. If 2
numbers have a dash between them, play the chord change quicker.  Like I
said, listen to the CD and you'll know what I mean. Enough of my
nitpicking and/or analyzing, here's the chart:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
                Slightly Overdriven Vintage 50's Guitar Sound
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

         3       (Ska strum)

     3       (Swing strum the rest)



3                                               1-2
        Frank was a contractor who got up every mornin'

3                                               1-2
        Skinnin' cats and fixin' cars his day was far from boring

3                                               1-2
        Suped up Ford, a V-8 289

                                                                3
        Runnin' down those punks, was always on his mind


    4, 3



        6            5-4                        3
        Frank -- was a contractor, is he after you?

        6            5-4                        3
        Frank -- was a contractor, is he after you?


     3



3                                               1-2
        The Ford was wired for nitro, a cannister sat in the back

3                                               1-2
        Ten inch slicks, rachet shift, smoke and rubber in his tracks

        3                                               1-2
             Frank didn't like us, we just wanna have some fun

        3
        We played our music, and he put us on the run


    4, 3

        6,5,4,3...6,5,4,3

     3



        3                                               1-2
        Frank started the beast, smoke spewed from the trunk

        3                                               1-2
        Oil sprayed from the hood, the can of the nitro junk

        3                                               1-2
        The car swelled, then exploded, flying across the street

        3
        Frank slowly stepped out, staggering to his feet


    4, 3

        6,5,4,3...6,5,4,3


-----------------------------------------------------------------------
                Same as above, but w/ medium speed tremolo 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

        3, 3
        
            3
        And so our story ends

                3
        Of the psyco contractor guy

                3
        The moral of the story is:

                            3                                 3
 
        When Frank's around, turn the music down, 

                        3               3              3   
        Or you better learn how to run fast

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
                             No tremolo
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

<1/2 Chorus>  

        6         5     4                    3
        Frank was a contractor, is he after you?
