How Good You Are by Joe Pug
How Good You Are
Capo:2nd fret
Note 1: *riff – the riff in the intro and chorus is simply lifting off of the
2nd string
and then the third string on both the [Am] and the [Fmaj7] before
transitioning to [C/G].
So, on the [Am], play the chord as usual, then play it with the second string
open,
then play 2-0 on the third string, and do the exact same thing on the [Fmaj7]
before
playing the [C/G]. It should look something like this:
Am Fmaj7 C/G
0---------------0--------------------0----|
1---0-----------1-----0--------------1----|
2-------2---0---2----------2---0-----0----|
2---------------3--------------------2----|
0---------------3--------------------3----|
x---------------x--------------------3----|
Note 2: the verses consist of a continuous [Am] [G] [C/G] [G] [Am] [G] [C/G]
pattern, in
which the [G] is played only on the fifth and sixth strings and is stroked for
just one
quick beat each time you transition between [Am] and [C/G]. Listen to get the
timing.

I was [G] born into A [C/G] circus [G] [Am]
But I ran [G] off to [C/G] join a home [G] [Am]
They said [G] that [C/G] I was worthless
That my [Fmaj7] family died un[C/G]known
[G] [Am]
So it [G] gets, and so it [C/G]goes [G] [Am]
That’s what [G] you get [C/G] I suppose

All the [G] Christians left [C/G] behind [G] [Am]
At the [G] cross[C/G]roads of your town [G] [Am]
Ah, [G] they’re playing truth or [C/G] dare
Beneath [Fmaj7] the sanctuary [C/G] now
[G] [Am]
Some wish [G] they [C/G] had the truth [G] [Am]
Some wish [G] they [C/G] had the gold [G] [Am]
But they’re [G] ain’t no sense in [C/G] leaving
From the [Fmaj7] only game you [C/G] know

There’s A [G] butler in [C/G] your hallway [G] [Am]
He is [G] troublesome [C/G] and old [G] [Am]
He repeats [G] the [C/G] word alive
To de[Fmaj7]scribe your family [C/G] gold
[G] [Am]
You ask [G] him [C/G] please to go [G] [Am]
But there’s one [G] thing you [C/G] don’t know [G] [Am]
He [G] carved [C/G] April 7th, ‘65
Into the [Fmaj7] side of your pia[C/G]no

Everything that [G] you were [C/G] meant for [G] [Am]

Does not [G] need [C/G] you to do it
Someone else was [Fmaj7] born to do it [C/G] too
[G] [Am]
Now like A [G] half [C/G] grown man [G] [Am]
You barely [G] learn [C/G] how to stand [G] [Am]
If you [G] shut up [C/G] with what you’ve chosen
You’ll hear [Fmaj7] something choosing [C/G] you
CHORUS
