3 Speed
INTRO:G and Gmaj7 x4
1st VERSE
G Gmaj7
Got a 3 speed and banana seat
G Gmaj7
Sitting back on the sissy bar
G Gmaj7
Went to Sev and got a drink
G Gmaj7
Wish I was driving in Daddy's car
CHORUS
C D
I looked up at the sky last night
Em A
And I thought I saw a bomb
C(VIII) D(X) G Gmaj7
Why won't you just tell me what's going on
2nd VERSE
Riding down on springhill road
Meeting Alfred out in the woods
Dogs bark and mosquitoes bite
Scratching the itch that makes it feel good
CHORUS
And I looked into the mirror last night
All I saw was a pretty blonde
And why won't you just tell me what's going on
3rd VERSE
Em A
Life is funny but not ha ha funny
C G Gmaj7
Peculiar I guess
Em A
You think i got it all going my way
C(VIII) D(X)
Then why am I such a fucking mess

Want a pony and a birthday cake
Want a party with the scary clown

Kneel down for the queen of the town

And I thought I saw a bomb

Why won't you just tell me what's going on

Standard tuning EADGBe
CAPO AT 7TH FRET - chords are transposed (i.e. first chord I've named C is strictly a G)
EADGBe
C - x3201x
C* - x32013 (during the solo)
Gsus/B - x2001x
Gsus/B* - x20013 (during the solo)
F - xx321x
G - xx000x (sometimes sounds like xx0003)
Am - x0221x
D5 - xx023x (sometimes sounds like Dm xx0231 or D xx0232)
This is a beautiful plaintively strummed song that mostly only uses the middle 4 strings
the guitar, although
around and during the solo section it sounds like he lets the high e string ring out
occasionally, as shown above. Listen to the record and see what you think.
