Listen 2 track for rythem
Intro: C C C C F F X3
C C C C X1
A E Em
Forget the second coming
A E Em
I need you in the here and now
A E
Instead of dreamin' up a way to
G C
Spread your name across the world somehow
C-C-C
A E Em
When you told me you were leavin'
A E Em
I wasn't thirsty for revenge
A E
No I wasn't disappointed much at all
G C
Cause you'll be back again
Solo: play this chord progression twice over
F-C
F-G-C (repeat) listen for rythem
F C
If you're movin' out to the west
F G C
Then you'd better learn how to surf
F C
The tide will break in on itself
F G C
There are no ghosts to exhume or unearth
F C
If you're gonna do it then do it
F G C
Otherwise you just might lose your nerve
F C
I swear that ocean it swallowed me fully
F G C
And it might have to follow you home
E-F-G
Instrumental:
play combination of C, F's and G's.
F
When you wake up in the morning
G C
And you hear that awful applause
A E Em
Put it in your f**kin' napkin
G C
And watch it dissolve
F
You could seal it in an envelope
G C
Tuck it away in your safe
A E Em
But you can't take it to the bank
G C
And you can't take it back
havning completely worked out the outro, but at the end it goes back to the same as the
progression for the solo, however, i think you can do it like this instead.
Play the first bit the same of the solo chords.
F-C
and then play this tab

(this is the same for the whole of the verse, and the next verse beggining 'if your
do it, then do it')
Guitar 1 does something slightly different at this point for verse 2 and 3. You can do
same, it would sound ok. but i think it is something like this

back into the same thing as the intro going into the next verse

'when you wake up in the morning and you hear that aweful applause'
then back to this for second part of the verse ('put it in you fucking napkin, and
watch it dissolve')

this process is the same for the next part of that verse which is
'You could seal it in an envelope
Tuck it away in your safe
But you can't take it to the bank
And you can't take it back'
