Birthday Boy
God Ween Satan, 1990
 
Capo: 2nd fret
Note, the chord change from D to Dmaj7 is pretty quick, almost like a pull-off.
Also, while playing the F#m, accent it with a couple of pinky hammer-ons.
 
[Intro]
 
Jesus Christ... Pain, Take one...
 
A  F#m  A  F#m
A  F#m  D  A
 
[Verse]
 
A           F#m              A          F#m        
Last time I saw you, I was holding your hand
        A       F#m              D   A
And I couldn't wait for you to leave
    A         F#m              A       F#m
I knew right then that it was over and done
         A       F#m                D   A
And I couldn't believe that I was free
 
[Chorus]
 
A7sus    A7      D  Dmaj7  Bm  
Help me now, I'm go-ing - down      
       A            F#m      D  A
And I don't know if I’ll be ok
A7sus     A7         D   Dmaj7  Bm
I'll be around, I'll be - in - town
    A          F#m       D  A
If you need a place to stay
A  F#m
 
[Verse]
 
A              F#m                  A          F#m
When the wind blows and there's a chill in the air
   A          F#m              D       A
I hope that someone is taking care of you
A     F#m                A    F#m
I'm alright, yeah, I'm really ok
A           F#m               D        A
Just so you know I'm always there for you
 
[Chorus]

Help me now, I'm go-ing - down
       A            F#m      D  A
And I don't know if I'll be ok
A7sus     A7         D   Dmaj7  Bm
I'll be around, I'll be - in - town

If you need a place to stay
