This tab was made from the video of Tim and Roger playing the song live in the Album of the Year extras. Tim plays the D, Dm, A, E open and the rest of the chords as barres. Intro: D Dm D Dm Pre-verse: F# (hammer on the 2nd fret on the E string) [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/t/the-good-life/238517.html ] C# Onstage at the Orpheum F# Waiting for a diploma Bm Looking out at my classmates A Ready to disown them Ab My bags were packed A I was ready to leave E For university F# I was moving up and out D Dm Out of Omaha F# (hammer on 2nd fret) Oh, it didn't last One night I was drinking alone So I drove out to Denver To visit an old friend Who had settled down there I kept on driving all through the night And threw up in dawn's early light Sick on caffeine pills My friend, he escaped from Omaha Oh, I never will Oh, I had a lover once She was a nomad Would have followed her anywhere So we moved out to Portland She was selling baggage I bought all I could And that was all it took To make my escape Oh, Omaha, oh, you never looked so good I am leaving I'm sailing away My time in Iowa Was just a holiday I've got to get back over that bridge To the town where I live I guess that's where I'll stay Oh, Omaha, oh, Omaha |
