"Little Johnny Jewel"
by Television
from Little Johnny Jewel 7" and 12" single and Marquee Moon (Deluxe Edition)
This song is a lengthy jam without distinct separation from the
guitar parts between Tom Verlaine and Richard Lloyd, so what
I've figured out will be under guitars 1 and 2.
Main riff (Played only by the bass during intro lead all the way
up to the first chorus break, then 2nd guitar plays it throughout.)

That's it. Because of this songs length and repetitive, loose,
jam-like structure, feel free to play along to the song and
improvise any of the bit I left out like the entire solo.
Please feel free to leave comments, corrections, requests,
and suggestions. Cheers!
