G C D

          G                        D
Well I've seen Black Flag and I've seen the Germs
         C                D
And I've jammed with G.G. too
     G             D
Even opened up for the Ramones
       C              D
But it just ain't any use
C                   G             D             G
She don't care that I know Ben Weasel and Metal Mike
       C                  D
**It's all such frightful tripe, to her

[CHORUS]
G                        C          D
Tamara is a punk, so you better not knock her
G                         C         D
Tamara is a punk, she's a real punk rocker
G                      C        D      G       C   D
Tamara is a punk and I wish she was my girl

(SECOND VERSE)
             G
I've been in Rolling Stone
       D
Not to bitch and moan
            C          D
**But she's simply not impressed
    G              D
I'm not as punk as fuck to her
        C               D
But I'm friends with MT X
C                   G             D             G
She don't care that I know Ben Weasel and Metal Mike
     C                   D
It's all such frightful tripe, to her

[2ND CHORUS]
G                        C          D
Tamara is a punk, so you better not knock her
G                         C         D
Tamara is a punk, she's a real punk rocker
G                      C        D      G
Tamara is a punk and I wish she was my girl

[BRIDGE]
          D
She's the coolest of the cool, She's the toughest of the tough
          G
She's the grooviest punk rock girl
          D
She's the queen of the scene in the neighborhood
          G
And she's got my heart in a whirl
          C
And we'll never kiss in the Elvis Room
           G
'Cause she doesn't like me like that
    D
Not her and me - she's too cool for that scene

[FINAL CHORUS]
G                        C          D
Tamara is a punk, so you better not knock her
G                         C         D
Tamara is a punk, she's a real punk rocker
G                      C        D      G       C   D
Tamara is a punk and I wish she was my girl

[ENDING]
G                 C  D
Tamara is a pink
G                 C  D
Tamara is a pink
G                      C        D      G
Tamara is a pink and I wish she was my girl...
