----------------------------------------------------------------- AGE OF WORRY - John Mayer ----------------------------------------------------------------- With the help of a couple other tabs and two videos of John playing, I think I've put together a completely accurate tab (hopefully). Enjoy! Tuning: EADGBe (T): Use thumb on bass note (m): Use middle finger on bass note x : Mute note INTRO For this part, it's easiest to just pick with your thumb and index finger while resting your other fingers on the guitar. Start out with a G shape on the third fret with your thumb fretting the root on the low E. e|---------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------5-----3-----------------------------------------------| G|---4-----------------4-----2-----4-----0-----2-----------0-----| D|---------------------------------------------------2-----------| A|---------------5---5---5---3---3---3---3---3---3---3---3---3---| E|---3---3---3---------------------------------------------------| (T) (T) (T) e|---------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------5-----3-----------| G|---0-----4-----4-----------2-----------4-----------------4-----| D|---------------------0-----------0-----------------------------| A|---3---3---3---------------5---5---5---------------5---5---5---| E|---------------3---3---3---------------3---3---3---------------| (m) (m) (m) (T) (T) (T) e|----------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|----------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|---2-----4-----0-----2---------5---4---2-----0-----0-----------0-----0------| D|---------------------------2-----------------------------0------------------| A|---3---3---3---3---3---3---3---3---3---3---3---3----------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------3---3---3---3---3---3----| (T) (T) (T) (T) (T) (T) If you're playing solo, you might just repeat that the rest of the song. Or, you could play the chords, as John often does with the band: Gadd9 Dadd4 C6sus2 e|---5---------------5--------------5----------------------------| B|---3---------------3--------------3----------------------------| G|---4---------------0--------------x----------------------------| D|---5---------------4--------------0----------------------------| A|---x---------------5--------------3----------------------------| E|---3---------------3--------------x----------------------------| (T) (T) (T) These chords are pretty weird and difficult to play ? I extrapolated them best I could from a video of a live performance on Letterman ? so alternatively, use simpler open chords (G5, D/F#, Cadd9). Gadd9(G5) Dadd4(D/F#) C6sus2(Cadd9) Close your eyes and clone yourself C6sus2(Cadd9) Gadd9(G5) Dadd4(D/F#) Gadd9(G5) Build your heart an ar- my Dadd4(D/F#) C6sus2(Cadd9) To defend your innocence Dadd4(D/F#) Gadd9(G5) While you do everything wrong G5 D/F# Cadd9 Don't be scared to walk alone Cadd9 G5 D/F# G5 Don't be scared to like it D/F# Cadd9 There's no time that you must be home, so D/F# G5 Sleep where darkness falls G5 D/F# Cadd9 Alive in the age of worry Cadd9 G5 D/F# Smile in the age of wor-ry G5 D/F# Cadd9 Go wild in the age of worry Cadd9 D/F# G5 And say, "Worry, why should I care?" G5 D/F# Cadd9 Cadd9 D/F# G5 (Oooooooooooooooh) (Ooooooooooooooh) G5 D/F# Cadd9 Know your fight is not with them Cadd9 G5 D/F# Yours is with your time here G5 D/F# Cadd9 Dream your dreams but don't pretend Cadd9 D/F# G5 Make friends with what you are G5 D/F# Cadd9 Give your heart then change your mind Cadd9 G5 D/F# You're allowed to do it G5 D/F# Cadd9 'Cause God knows it's been done to you Cadd9 D/F# G5 And somehow you got through it G5 D/F# Cadd9 Alive in the age of worry Cadd9 G5 D/F# Rage in the age of wor-ry G5 D/F# Cadd9 Sing out in the age of worry Cadd9 D/F# G5 And say, "Worry, why should I care?"
