THE HELL OF IT
(Paul Williams)
-From the 'Phantom of the Paradise' soundtrack.

ERoll (022100@1)on thunder, shine on lightning
    AmThe (x02210@1)days are long and the nights are frightenin'
CNothing (x32010@1)matters anyway,
               G (320003@1)         D (xx0232@1)name="chord_x02210@1">Am
And that's the hell of it.

EWinter (022100@1)comes and the winds blew colder
      AmWhile (x02210@1)some grew wiser, you just grew older
    CAnd (x32010@1)you never listened anyway,
               G (320003@1)         D (xx0232@1)name="chord_x02210@1">Am
And that's the hell of it.

GGood (320003@1)for nothing, bad in bed
GNobody (320003@1)likes you and you're better off dead
    C (x32010@1)                E (022100@1)                     C (x32010@1)
Goodbye (Goodbye!), we've all come to say goodbye (Goodbye!),
     E (022100@1)Goodbye (Goodbye!).

GBorn (320003@1)defeated, died in vain
GSuper-destructive, (320003@1)you were hooked on pain
C (x32010@1)                E (022100@1)Though your music lingers on
C (x32010@1)            E (022100@1)All of us are glad you're gone

Bm (x24432@1)                             C (x32010@1)            GIf (320003@1)I could live my life half as worthlessly as you
Bm (x24432@1)                    C (x32010@1)             E (022100@1) D (xx0232@1)name="chord_x02210@1">Am
I'm convinced that I'd wind up burning too.

E (022100@1)                               
Love yourself as you loved no other
   AmBe (x02210@1)no man's fool and be no man's brother
      C (x32010@1)                                         G (320003@1)We're all born to die alone, you know, that's the hell of it.

ELife's (022100@1)a game where they're bound to beat you
    AmAnd (x02210@1)time's a trick it can turn to cheat you
     CAnd (x32010@1)we only waste it anyway,
               G (320003@1)And that's the hell of it.

GGood (320003@1)for nothing, bad in bed
GNobody (320003@1)likes you and you're better off dead
    C (x32010@1)                E (022100@1)                     C (x32010@1)
Goodbye (Goodbye!), we've all come to say goodbye (Goodbye!),
     E (022100@1)Goodbye (Goodbye!).

I think it was a shame that this song wasn't yet in UG, so, though I'm an awful 
guitar player (and, as you can see, an awful english speaker as well), I tried to 
get the chords...
And, well, here it is, my first tab. Don't be rough, I'M A BABY!
As you'll see, it's easy as hell, so...
Enjoy (if you can).
