Here is the Ramones first album powerchord masterpiece.

I left off Blitzkrieg Bop since it's been done to death.

For the full effect, play like Dee Dee and barre the fifth on your power chords

for depth. ( on a D, instead of -7- play -7-------------------- )

                       -7-         -7-------------------------- )

                       -5-         -5-------------------------- )

                                               ---          -5- )
