Verse 2.
'If your moving out to the west'
e------------|
b------------|
g------------|
d------------|
a--777777-7~-|
E--555555-0~-|
'then you'd better learn how to surf'
e-------------|
b-------------|
g-------------|
d-------------|
a--7777-99-7~-|
E--5555-77-0~-|
(this is the same for the whole of the verse, and the next verse beggining 'if your
do it, then do it')
Guitar 1 does something slightly different at this point for verse 2 and 3. You can do
same, it would sound ok. but i think it is something like this
e------------------------|
b------------------------|
g------------------------|
d-------------2222-44----|
a--777-444-2~~0000-22-2~-|
E--555-555-0~~xxxx-xx-0~-|
at the end of this play this chords into the instrumental
G# A B
4 5 7
4 5 7
5 6 8
6 7 9
6 7 9
4 5 7
instrumental i havnt worked out yet, if any one could tell me what it is, that would be great.
back into the same thing as the intro going into the next verse
d-----------|
a--77777-77-|
E--00000-55-|
verse 4 beggining
use barr chords already shown
A B E
e--5--7--x-|
b--5--7--9-|
g--6--8--9-|
d--7--9--9-|
a--7--9--7-|
E--5--7--x-|
A B E
'when you wake up in the morning and you hear that aweful applause'
then back to this for second part of the verse ('put it in you fucking napkin, and
watch it dissolve')
B E
e-----------------7-7--x-|
b-----------------7-7--5-|
g-----------------8-8--x-|
d-11-13-11-9--9---9-9--6-|
a-----------11----9-9--7-|
E-----------------7-7--x-|
this process is the same for the next part of that verse which is
'You could seal it in an envelope
Tuck it away in your safe
But you can't take it to the bank
And you can't take it back'
the rest is all instrumental, and i havnt figured it all out yet.
some of it is the same as the solo at the beginning, if you wanna figure it out yourselves.
please try and correct, cause not to sure its all right.
