During the verse Rod plays the lead over the strumming pattern.
Its almost the sqme in every verse.
It is something like this:
E [——————————————————-]
B [———–7-9b11r9-7————-16-16-16-16-16-16-16-]
G [—6-8-8————–8—8—8————————]
D [-8—————————————————–] Riff 1
A [——————————————————-]
E [——————————————————-]
E [————————]
B [————————]
G [—–6—8-8b10—8—–]
D [-8——————–6-] Riff 2
A [————————]
E [————————]
You will have to listen to the song to see the exact timing
of where these riffs fit in. Play riff 1, then riff 2
and then back to riff 1 again.
In verse 3 though, riff 1 is played then riff 2, but instead
of repeating riff 1 play this:
E [———————-]
B [-16-16-16-16-16-16-16-]
G [———————-]
D [———————-] Riff 3
A [———————-]
E [———————-]

b – bend string

Lyrics:
Aim for the body rare, you’ll see it on tv
The worst thing in 1954 was the bikini
See the girl on the tv dressed in a bikini
She doesnt think so, but she’s dressed for the h-bomb
For the h-bomb.
And i found that essence rare, it’s what i looked for
And i knew i’d get what i asked for.
Aim for the country fare, you read it in the paper
The worst thing that happens any week, a scandel on the front page
See the happy pair smiling, close like they’re monkeys
They wouldn’t think so, but they’re holding themselves down.
Hold themselves down.
And i found that essence rare, it’s what i looked for
And i knew i’d get what i asked for.
And i found that essence rare, it’s what i looked for
And i knew i’d get what i asked for.
Aim for politicians fair who’ll treat your vote, hope well
The last thing that they’ll ever do, is act in your interests
Look at the world through polaroid glasses
Things seem a whole lot better for the working classes
And i found that essence rare, it’s what i looked for
And i knew i’d get what i asked for.
And i found that essence rare, it’s what i looked for
And i knew i’d get what i asked for.
