Tuning: Great song here by a great band. I saw them play this live, and I know they used a capo on some songs, but I can't remember if they did or not on this. Anyways, you could probably put one on the third fret make it a little easier. Tab is at the bottom. Chords: Bb5 6-8-8-7-6-6 (w/ capo, G5 ) Eb5 x-6-8-8-6-6 (w/ capo, C5 ) C5 x-3-5-5-4-3 (w/ capo, A5 ) G5 3-5-5-3-3-3 (w/ capo, E5 ) INTRO: Bb5 VERSE: (w/ verse lead) Bb5 I was born on a light-skinned road, I was born with an engineers gold, Eb5 Bb5 I did better than most. Bb5 Now I live on a dark-skinned road, The collectors call they try to take my gold, Eb5 Bb5 Im happier than most. BRIDGE:(w/lead) Eb5 The streets are never clean C5 My friends they help preserve my innocence. Bb5 G5 VERSE: Bb5 We shared our cigarettes, At the window we placed our bets, Eb5 Bb5 They wouldnt call our names, Tickets hide our shame. Bb5 So we laughed through glossy eyes, Surely the gods would recognize, Eb5 Bb5 Our good intentions, we showed them , The sweat covered our skin. BRIDGE: (w/lead) Eb5 We aged a decade in an hour, C5 We gave away our innocence. Bb5 INTERLUDE: (n.C5 ) So let these simple songs get caught in our heads, G5 Brace the frames of our worthless beds. Bb5 All my life never gave a fuck, G5 C5 Someone please wake me up. GUITAR SOLO: Bb5 G5 OUTRO: Bb5 So let these simple songs get caught in our heads, G5 Brace the frames of our worthless beds. Bb5 All my life never gave a fuck, G5 C5 Bb5 Someone please wake me up.
