I don't know the official version of the song, but this is how I play it and I think it sounds pretty da*n good. (feel free to judge) [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/p/poison/225611.html ] E Asus2 Well I see him on the TV preaching 'bout the promised land E Asus He tells me to believe in Jesus steals the money from my hand E F#m G#m A Some say he was a good man lord I think he sinned E Asus2 Twenty two years of mental tears cries a suicidal Vietnam vet E Who fought a losing war on a foreign shore Asus to find his country didn't want him back E Their bullets took his best friend in Saigon Asus Our lawyers took his wife and kids no regrets E Asus In a time I don't remember in a war he can't forget E F#m G#m He cried "Forgive me for what I've done there cause I never meant the A things I did ... E And give me something to believe in Asus If there's a lord above E Asus Give me something to believe in, Oh lord arise E Asus My best friend died a lonely man in some Palm Springs motel room E Asus I got the call last Christmas Eve and they told me the news E Asus I tried all night not to break down and cry as the tears rolled down my face E Asus I felt so cold and empty like a lost soul out of place E F#m G#m A And mirror mirror on the wall sees a smile than fades again E And give me something to believe in Asus If there's a lord above E Asus Give me something to believe in, Oh lord arise E F#m G#m A Sometimes I wish to God I didn't know now the things I didn't know then Solo: (yeah, you’re chord players … you don’t play solos!) E I drive by the homeless sleeping on the cold dark street Asus like bodies in an open grave E Asus Underneath the broken old neon sign that used to read "Jesus Saves" E Asus A mile away live the rich folks and I see how they livin' it up E Asus While the poor they eat from hand to mouth the rich drink from a golden cup E F#m G#m A And it just makes me wonder why so many lose and so few win E Now give me something to believe in Asus If there's a lord above E Asus Give me something to believe in, Oh lord arise E F#m G#m A Sometimes I wish to God I didn't know now the things I didn't know then E Oh give me something to believe in. Know its not perfect ... but it works in every bar I perform in. |
