Despite the insane drumming(Eric Slick?) at the back end of this song, I think you can
rock this one out on the acoustic if you get the strumming down, especially the double
time part. I tried to nail the chord changes on the lyrics but this editor kinda sucks.
Maybe my first and last guitar tab! Feel free to contact me at padzeke@me.com.
Intro: Gmin - 4bars
Gm9 B
I put on my clothes like a body guard
C#m7 E
I put the dogs on patrol in my own back yard
Gm9 B
I don't wanna fight but I'm constantly ready
C#m7 E
And I don't rock the boat, but it's always unsteady
E
There's an elephant in my head
B
And I tip toe around it
C#m7
There are eggshells on the floor
E
Therefore I never touch the ground
E
It's like that old black hole,
F#maj
No matter how you try,
F#maj
You set out each day
F#maj
Never to arrive
Gm9
I got my eyes on the prize
B
But it looks just like a mystery
C#m7 E
And it all goes by on the lonesome trail to victory
Gm9 B
I'm drawing in the blinds, I got my own four walls
C#m7 E
And the show really starts once the curtain falls
E
Take this thorn from my side
B
Fix this chip on my shoulder
C#m7
Time is racing with the clock
E
And I ain't getting any older
E
It's like that old black hole,
F#maj
No matter how you try,
E
It's like that old black hole,
F#maj
No matter how you try,
E
It's like that old black hole,
F#maj
No matter how you try,
F#maj
You set out each day
F#maj
Never to arrive
Gmin("Whoo!")
B
I put on my finest thread
B C#m7
And I wrap up my body tight
C#m7
With the sun in my eyes
B
I step into the night
C#m7 E
Like the mystery in the dark
Oh, it's just another kind of light
B
I don't expect you to believe me
C#m7 B
But everything is al--right
B
I don't make rules for a living
B C#m7
I don't do tricks for a dime
C#m7
I was born on a good day,
B
Deaf, dumb and blind.
C#m7 E
Who am I to tell the truth?
I don't even know what it is.
B C#m7 B
I don't know how to say it but I know that I can show you.
B C#m7 B
I don't know how to say it but I know that I can show you.
(now for the fun..double time)
B
I tie my boots up tight
B
And I head straight for bed
C#m7
There's a pistol and a crystal
C#m7
Underneath my pillow
B
There's a tender heart
B
Inside that ugly armadillo
C#m7
"These are tears of joy,"
F#maj
Cried the weeping willow
E
There's a spirit in the air
F#maj
And there ain't no way around it
B
I was not prepared to lose it
C#m7
On the moment that I found it
E
It's like that old black hole,
F#maj
No matter how you try,
E
It's like that old black hole,
F#maj
No matter how you try,
E
It's like that old black hole,
F#maj
No matter how you try,
F#maj
You set out each day
F#maj
Never to arrive
Hang onto that end chord:Bmaj
