    Dont Go Away Mad

  • Artist:

    Motley Crue

C5                     D5
We could sail away or catch a freight train
     F5                C5
Or a rocket ship into outer space
        C5                   D5
Nothin' left to do too many things were said
   F5                      C5
To ever make it feel like yesterday did
C5                             D5
Seasons must change, separate paths, separate ways
      F5                        C5
If we blame it anything, let's blame it on the rain
  C5                      D5
I knew it all along, I'd have to write this song
   F5                               C5
To young to fall in love, guess we knew it all along


Chorus:

         Bb5             F5
That's alright, that's OK
        C5
We were walkin' through some youth, smilin' through some pain
         Bb5             F5
That's alright, that's OK
               C        <- (go back to verse progression with this C)
Let's turn the page

My friends called today, down from L.A.
They were shootin' pool all night and sleepin' half the day
They said I could crash if I could find my own way
I told them you were leaving on a bus to go away

That's alright, that's OK
We were two kids in love tryin' to find our way
That's alright, that's OK
Held our dreams in our hands, let our minds run away
That's alright, that's OK
We were walkin' through some youth, smilin' through some pain
That's alright, let's turn the page
    G5
And remember what I say, and it goes this way

C5           D5
Girl, don't go away mad         (sing this part with the ending chord
F              C                 progression that follows)
Girl, just go away!

I'm not really great at chord names, so I'll tab out the ending part, but=
=20
the root chords are bar C, D, & F chords with a little pinky action on the=
=20
B string (whatever that chord is).
