Classic Ray Davies tune, great for working on your power chords and being able to shift them fast.

I think the original track used full E Shape Barre chords all the way, even for the C and D chords, which are played right up the neck.

The solo is not shown, if you want to work it out, or improvise in the tune, then check out the G Minor Pentatonic scale (in Position 1). Lots of two note licks played with a big of gusto and it should sound cool.
