The song is actually played a half step lowere than shown here
but this is the easier way to play it. If you want to play
along then transpose it down a half step.
The opening riff is the bass notes G F# C C C D G
(If you can't get it listen to the song-- that goes for
everything here.)
This same riff is used for the verse but with chords.
Use A full G , full G with F# bass, C9(?), and D
Full G:--o-- G with F#:--o-- Cadd9:--o--

The chorus is C G D D C G C
The outro is G C D G C D which changes to Em C D G Em C D G
after the first time through
Here's the song:
G G/f# C9 D
I asked her to stay here with me a while, Oh she said no
These words mean nothing these thoughts won't fly, O she said no
And where would this lead us to anyway, O she said no
Well I crossed the line in half the time and that's insane
O she said
C G D D C G D(not C as above)
Hey now keep yourself in town, won't you?
And daylight keep yourself in sight, won't you?
G G/f# C 9 D
So I asked her to come back some other time, O she said no
These words ring holloow these thoughts aren't mine, O she said-
C G D D C G C
Hey now keep yourself in town, won't you?
And daylight keep yourself in sight, won't you?
outro:
G C D G C D
So I'm sitting here and waiting my turn, Oh well maybe next time
G C D Em C D G
So I'm sitting here and waiting my turn, Oh well Maybe next time
Em C D G Em C D G
Maybe next time, I will learn, oh yes
Maybe next time I will learn.
