Note:JB'S not only varying palm muting but also fret muting. Pressure is
applied with the fretted fingers on the down stroke and muted on the
upstroke. U can also hear 0 2 0 as he ceases muting altogether on the G
string...

Then Verse, Bridge, Chorus again.
I'm in, and I'm out
Alien from somewhere else
Don't know what the hell
I be yelling about
But from here and there
I belong nowhere
Seem so many northern man
Now things don't seem to be the same
But they are some how
Cause all my life I lived on the outside
And now I'm in, but in nowhere
Nowhere Man x4
Strangely enough I'm more like a
Lone tree
I love those forests
But alone better suits me
But I love to share just like the pollen loves to be free
And flying through the air nowhere
Better suits me
Somewhere down deep inside of me
I guess I always wanted to
Be part of that way
And now I found that in my family
And now I'm happy just to be
Nowhere Man x4
