Here is how I learned to play the Eddie & the Hotrods version. I was
taught to play it with these variations of the major and minor chords
(basically barre chords, but you let the B and E strings ring open
throughout). Or you can play it with just straight major and minor barre
chords.

  E            A           F#m           B           G#m

EADGBE       EADGBE       EADGBE       EADGBE       EADGBE
------       ------       ------       ------       ------
022100       577600       X44200       X24400       X66400


Intro:

E    A    F#m
E    A    F#m

      B
Gonna break out of this city
          A             E
Leave the people here behind
B
Looking for adventure
       A                   E
Is the type of life you'll find
F#m            G#m
Tired of doing day jobs
        A                 B
With no thanks for what I do
    A              G#m
I'm sure I must be someone
        F#m            E
Now I'm gonna find out who

              A        B                       E     A E
Why don't you ask them   what they expect from you
              A         B                    E    A E
Why don't you tell them   what you are gonna do
           F#m      G#m
You get so lonely
           A           B
Maybe it's better that way
             A       G#m
It ain't you only
    F#m                    E
And we've got something to say

                           E     A    F#m
Do anything you wanna do

                           E     A    F#m
Do anything you wanna do


Title:     Do Anything You Wanna Do
Artist:    Eddie and the Hotrods

The version of each chord shape is chosen to have the 'B' and top 'E' strings open all
the way through the song. This is important to achieve the right sound for this song.

Chords, in order of appearance:

E            0 2 2 1 0 0
Aadd2        0 0 2 2 0 0 (or if you like 5 7 7 6 0 0)
F#m11       T2 4 4 2 0 0
Bsus4        x 2 4 4 0 0 (or if you like 7 9 9 8 0 0)
Esus4        0 2 2 2 0 0
