   D7
   Got me the strangest woman
   A7
   Believe me this chick's no cinch
   D7
   But I really get her goin'
   E7
   When I get out my big ten-inch
                D7
   record of a band that plays the blues
             A7
   well a band that plays the blues
     Bm7           E7
   She just loves my big ten-inch
                               A
   record of her favorite blues

        This is what I came up with for the solo. It seems pretty accurate
but I'm still a bit cautious because it's the first time that I figured out
a somewhat difficult solo. This is the solo on the album, by the way. I'm
aware that their live versions(Unplugged,etc.)are a bit different in that
they contain solos by Joe, Brad and Tom Ghimbel(saxophone)but this is the
Toys in the Attic version and therefore, this is the only guitar solo.
You'll have to work out the timing on your own because all I did was put two
spaces in between notes. Anyway, here it is:

The chord progression for the rest of the song is the same. The rest of the
lyrics go like this:

   Last night I tried to tease her
   I gave my love a little pinch
   But she said "Now stop that jivin'
   now whip out your big ten-inch

   (chorus)

   I'll cover her with kisses
   and when we're in a lover's clinch
   she gets all excited
   but then she puts on my big ten-inch

   (chorus)

   My gal don't go for smokin'
   and liquor just makes her flinch
   Seems she don't go for nothin'
   'cept for my big ten-inch

   (chorus)
