Paradise By The Dashboard Light chords by Meat Loaf
Guitar chords with lyrics
I fixed the tablature by shortening each line, so one won't run into the next and get mixed up. I also took out the lyrics. It's a little less clear this way, but very self-explanatory when you listen to the music. The transcription of this song is all my own work, of the only studio-recorded version of the song I know of. Chris Wells Paradise By the Dashboard Light By Jim Steinman Performed by Meatloaf

A basic rock and roll rhythm is used for a good portion of the song.
For the D and G chords, it looks something like this:
D G

The time interval between brackets (/ /) represents two of the sets

There are two identical verses, then it heads into the play-by-play /
porn section with an A chord.
The porn section is all over an E chord. There's a lot of stuff going
on, but the most audible guitar is doing this over and over again:

------------3-----2-2-H-3-------------------------------
