Highlighted Show chord diagrams
Most of the tabs on the web for this track are decent but forget the Em builds in a couple verses as well as the correct descending chord pattern in the chorus. Steven Page played the song minus the capo which are the chords presented here while Ed Robertson played it with a capo on the fifth fret (D, A, G, Bm) Barenaked Ladies - What a Good Boy G D Cadd9 When I was born, they looked at me and said what a good boy, what a smart boy, what a strong boy. G D Cadd9 And when you were born, they looked at you and said, what a good girl, what a smart girl, what a pretty girl. G D Cadd9 We've got these chains that hang around our necks, people want to strangle us with them before we take our first breath. G D Cadd9 Afraid of change, afraid of staying the same, when temptation calls, we just look away. [Chorus] G D This name is the hairshirt I wear, Cadd9 and this hairshirt is woven from your brown hair. G D This song is the cross that I bear, Cadd9 bear it with me, bear with me, bear with me, G [ch]F#/G[/ch] Em C be with me tonight, G [ch]F#/G[/ch] Em C I know that it isn't right, but be with me tonight. G D I go to school, I write exams, Cadd9 if I pass, if I fail, if I drop out, does anyone give a damn? G D And if they do, they'll soon forget Cadd9 'cause it won't take much for me to show my life ain't over yet. G D I wake up scared, I wake up strange. [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/b/barenaked-ladies/362974.html ] Cadd9 I wake up wondering if anything in my life is ever going to change. G D Em I wake up scared, I wake up strange Cadd9 G and everything around me stays the same. [Chorus] D ...its the hairshirt I wear, Cadd9 and this hairshirt is woven from your brown hair. G D This song is the cross that I bear, Cadd9 bear it with me, bear with me, bear with me, G [ch]F#/G[/ch] Em C be with me tonight, G [ch]F#/G[/ch] Em C G [ch]F#/G[/ch] Em C I know that it isn't right, but be with me tonight. G D I couldn't tell you that I was wrong, Cadd9 chickened out, grabbed a pen and paper, sat down and I wrote this song. G D I couldn't tell you that you were right, Cadd9 so instead I looked in the mirror, watched TV, laid awake all night. G D We've got these chains, hang 'round our necks, Cadd9 people want to strangle us with them before we take our first breath. G D Afraid of change, afraid of staying the same Cadd9 when temptation calls ... [Chorus] G D This name is the hairshirt I wear, Cadd9 and this hairshirt is woven from - is woven from - is woven from hair G D This song is the cross that I bear, Cadd9 bear it with me, bear with me, bear with me, be with me tonight, G D When I was born, they looked at me and said; Cadd9 What a good boy, what a smart boy, what a strong boy. G D And when you were born, they looked at you and said; Em Cadd9 G what a good girl, what a smart girl, what a pretty girl, hey  |
