However, just one correction. The chords for the riff on the original version 
of You Really Got Me are:  F   G    F   G. I know I'm being picky, but I 
wouldn't want someone to confuse it with the VH version, which was:  G   A   G   A.

A FURTHER Correction to you really got me.

It goes F - G, F - G, THEN 
it goes up a tone to go G - A, G - A

THEN!!  it Goes C - D , C - D

This repeats for the second verse.

The solo is over F-G F-G.

Then Back to the Beginning

The End chord is the Barre D.

I should know... I'm the poor sucker who has to play it in my band.. 
..plus that sodding solo, which hurts due to all the pull offs.

Dave....

love the running comments on You Really Got Me...

please add the following;

These notes are essentially correct. However, there is one last bit of the
song left out, which is that, after the second chorus, but before the
finger splitting lead (Please notate that one for us!!!), the band holds a
special chord known as "C" for awhile, thus allowing the drums to pound,
Ray to say "Oh No", and Dave to say "Fuck off!!" before the full band comes
in.

Now, we are komplete!
