Mean Streak by John Gorka
Mean Streak
Tuning:E A D G B E
Key:F#
Capo:2nd fret
John Gorka uses capo 2 to play this song. He does a bluesy thing where he uses
his pinky on beats 2 and 4 to play 0420100 during the E chord. He also barres the
A chord with this first finger, and adds third finger on x04220 beats 2 and 4.
Lastly, he does a bluesy walk-down every time he goes from E to B7 at the end of
each section. To play that, make an E7 shape on the 4th and 5th fret 050400 and
walk down the frets chromatically.
[Intro]
E B7
[Verse 1]
E
No money coming in
It's all going out
A
I'm standing on the corner
In the shadow of doubt
E
The streetlight's broken
And my heart is gone
A
Fate is coming
B E B7
With it's headlights on
[Chorus]
A
I've got a mean streak
It's not a dotted line
E
It's a matter of fact
It's piece of my mind
A
It's a mean streak
It's improved and new
B
Hit me once
A E B7
And I'll show it to you
[Verse 2]
E
Love and money
Are most the same
A
The less you make
The more you're to blame
E
The more you have
The more you desire
A
You cheat someone
B E B7
And you're playing with fire
[Chorus]
A
I've got a mean streak
It's not a dotted line
E
It's a matter of fact
It's piece of my mind
A
It's a mean streak
It's improved and new
B
Hit me once
A E B7
And I'll show it to you
[Verse 3]
E
I used to keep
My temper tied
A
Right under wraps
Riding by my side
E
Now I tend
To let it free
A
When the ways of the world
B E B7
Are getting wise with me
[Chorus]
A
I've got a mean streak
It's not a dotted line
E
It's a matter of fact
It's piece of my mind
A
It's a mean streak
It's improved and new
B
Hit me once
A E B7
And I'll show it to you
[Verse 4]
E
No money coming in
It's all going out
A
I'm standing on the corner
In the shadow of doubt
E
The streetlight's broken
And my heart is gone
A
Fate is coming
B E B7
With it's headlights on
[Outro]
A
Although I don't know how I'll manage
B E B7
I won't let you take advantage of me
A
Although I don't know how I'll manage
B E B7 E
I won't let you take advantage of me
