Reach For The Sky By: Social Distortion

Another great tune. This one from the Sex Love and Rock N' Roll album. There were no 
tabs of this song so I decided to put the right one out there.

You can email me if you have any ?'s  SocialDRcks@dls.net

All notes not relative to the capo but to the notes on the neck.
(Just read the tab as if the capo was not there).

Tuning: Standard         ***CAPO 1***

 A                      F
When I was young I was invincible
 C                     G
I found myself not thinkin twice
 A                      F
I never thought about no future
 C                     G
It's just a roll of the dice
 A                             F
But the day may come when you got something to lose
 C                              G
And just when you think you're done paying dues
 A                         F
You say to yourself "Dear God what have I done?"
 C                               G                  A     F
And hope its not too late cause tomorrow may never come
 C                       G                  A     F
Reach for the sky cause tomorrow may never come
 C                       G                  A     F
Reach for the sky cause tomorrow may never come

Play same chords from the first verse and chorus here as well.

Yesterday is history
And tomorrows a mystery
But baby right now
Its just about how with you and me

You can run you can hide just like Bonnie and Clyde
Reach for the sky you aint ever gonna die
And I thank the Lord for the love that I have found
And hold you tight cause tomorrow may never come

Reach for the sky cause tomorrow may never come
Reach for the sky cause tomorrow may never come

No guitar here just muted strumming after each line.

So if you please take this moment (muted strumming)
Try if you can to make it last    (muted strumming)
                     G
Dont think about no future
                           A
And just forget about the past

Again same chords here too. I threw in the background vocals in parenthesis.

And make it last

Reach for the sky cause tomorrow may never come
(Reach for the sky you aint ever gonna die)
Reach for the sky cause tomorrow may never come
(Reach for the sky you aint ever gonna die)
Reach for the sky cause tomorrow may never come

There's the song. Fairly easy to play. No real solo just a repeat of the intro riff used 
the middle of the song. Pce out!!!
