Verse 1:
It's like seeing a car crash from inside the car
G (320003@1)name="chord_x02220@1">A DE* (xx0232@1)The driver's got his head craned back he's telling you a joke
You see the bus on collision course
You point your arm and turn your head and wait for the impact
G (320003@1) A (x02220@1)B (x2444x@1) C (x32010@1) D (xx0232@1) G (320003@1) F# (244322@1)name="chord_320003@1">G
This is the feeling we learn to live with in North America
C (x32010@1) D (xx0232@1) E*
The morning headlines always accompanied with sweat and nausea
G (320003@1) C (x32010@1) A (x02220@1) C (x32010@1) G (320003@1)name="chord_x02220@1">A DE* (xx0232@1)Every week another puzzle piece gets permanently glued into place
Verse 2:
We see the iceberg from 15 miles away
G (320003@1)name="chord_244322@1">F# F (133211@1)name="chord_022100@1">E
The captain orders the ship to "stay the course"
"Full speed ahead" shouts the accurst
The next thing we heard was, "rich women and children first"
G (320003@1) A (x02220@1) B (x2444x@1)C (x32010@1) D (xx0232@1) G (320003@1) F# (244322@1)GThe (320003@1)ship is listing, the captain's placing blame on the iceberg
C (x32010@1) D (xx0232@1) E* (E G (320003@1)name="chord_x02220@1">A B)
"That berg attacked us, I am declaring war on the Arctic"
G (320003@1) C (x32010@1) A (x02220@1) CWho (x32010@1)could ever have predicted the greatest ship could so easily sink (duh)
Solo: Really Fast Scales with lots of pull offs.
I've found it's best to improv with wah pedal and Pentatonic scale in Eminor: (no wah pedal? do some bendys)
