My Vietnam Tab by Pink P!Nk -- My Vietnam Missundaztood [Standard Tuning, no capo] Chords Used: Bmin :224462 Bmsus:224460 D :x00232 A :x02220 F# :244322 Emin :022001 This technique is sorta weird, but once you get it down it'll sound pretty darn good. After the Regular Bmin, you kinda of lift up the back of your hand to make the open string for the high e string. Bmin/Bminsus Riff (also opening riff) e|---2---0------2---0----------------- b|-------3----------3----------------- g|-----4----------4------------------- d|------------------------------------ a|-2--------0h2----------------------- E|------------------------------------ D/Dsus Riff A/Asus Riff F#/F#sus Riff e|---2---0- e|---0----0- e|---2---0- b|-------3- b|--------2- b|--------- g|-----2--- g|-----2---- g|-----3--- d|-0------- d|---------- d|--------- a|--------- a|-0-------- a|--------- E|--------- E|---------- E|-2------- Verses: --You'll use the Bm/Bmsus riff all the way from "Daddy was a soldier..." all the way to "peace and all the great things that we take advantage of..." part. --For "once I fed the homeless..." to "the look upon their faces as I treated them with respect..." part, the chord procession will be: D/Dsus A/Asus Bm/Bmsus F#/F#sus D/Dsus A/Asus Bm/Bmsus F#/F#sus --After this, you'll go right into the chorus. Do yourself a favor and play along with the cd. it'll be so much easier. Okay. Now that you have the riffs, you just plug them in to the right places in the song. If you listen to the cd while you play it'll be alot easier. However, when you get into the chorus it gets a little trickier. Chorus: e|-----2-0-----------2-0---------3---0h2---------2---0- b|---------3---3---------3---3-----0-----3------------- g|---4-------4-----2-------2---------------2-------3--- d|---------------0-------------2-------------0--------- a|-2--------------------------------------------------- E|---------------------------------------------2------- x2 --Now for the middle 8 part, it's a little different and it's strummed.
