Great American Sharpshooter
Less Than Jake

Ok, here's a great song from LTJ's fifth album Hello Rockview (an incredibly awesome
by the way.) Some of the syncopated rhythms the guitarist uses, like in the second verse,
instance, are a little tricky especially to sing and play at the same time- but it 
fine played straight, too.

(solo gtr.)
Ab5    C#5      Ab5              Eb5
So you think of what it could've been
     Ab5                C#5           Ab5    (band enters) Eb5
When time is all you've lost it keeps burning through your head
              Ab5         C#5          Ab5          Eb5
(And now) you fall asleep standing but lie awake in bed
            Ab5        C#5    Ab5                  Eb5
(Watch the) clock drag on and think about what you should've said


[Pre-Chorus]
C#5 F#5 Ab5      C#5
Oh- It's for the better
F#5         Ab5
Your better half is gone.
Eb5 (////)    F#5 (////)
It's OK - You didn't need her anyway.

[Chorus]
    Ab5             C#5            Eb5        C#5
And I don't want to hear you say, “Nobody can take her place,”
Ab5     C#5   Bb5   C#5
Woah oh oh oh oh... oh-oh-oh
    Ab5       C#5        Eb5                C#5
And what more can I say? You don't need her anyway.
Ab5     C#5   Bb5   C#5
Woah oh oh oh oh... oh-oh-oh


Ab5    C#5      Ab5              Eb5
So you think of how it should've been
     Ab5       C#5         Ab5                Eb5
And "It's just over" Keeps going through your head.
         Ab5               C#5   Ab5          Eb5
(You're) hearing all those words time & time again
            Ab5       C#5       Ab5                  Eb5
(Watch the) phone all night and think about what you should've said

[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]

[Breakdown] (solo gtr.)
Ab5     C#5   Eb5   C#5
Woah oh oh oh oh... oh-oh-oh
Ab5     C#5   Bb5   C#5
Woah oh oh oh oh... oh-oh-oh
Ab5     C#5   Eb5   C#5
Woah oh oh oh oh... oh-oh-oh
Ab5     C#5   Bb5   C#5
Woah oh oh oh oh... oh-oh-oh

[Chorus]
[Ending]  Eb5   C#5   Ab5

Well there it is. This is a pretty good song to cover if you want an awesome LTJ song
don't have any horns in your band, because there aren't any horns in the recording (as far
I can tell anyway.)

Have Fun,
Jon
