End Solo
Ain't got no job
Ain't got no smoke
Ain't got a car
His life's a joke
Living on the skids
Thinks the world's just fine
Forgot what he did
Dancing on the breadline
No one there to bind him
Nothing to remind him
Nowhere left to find him
About to lose his lifeline
He's dancing on the breadline
Forgot who he is
Forgot who he was
Used to call the shots
Now he can't connect the dots
A mover and shaker
Getting closer to his maker
Lower than a hemline
Dancing on the breadline
No one there to bind him
Nothing to remind him
Nowhere left to find him
About to lose his lifeline
He's looking for a headline
Sniffing up the white lines
He's dancing on the breadline
Watch him dance
About to lose his lifeline
He's looking for a headline
Sniffing up the white lines
He's dancing on the breadline
No one, nothing, nowhere
The breadline dancing on the breadline
Dancing on the breadline
He forgot and he ain't got nothing

I think this is what's called the bridge. It leads to the chorus.
Pretty boring part but sounds good, and requires fast hands
to get in position to play the root notes in time and cleanly.

Chorus. Lots of strumming going on here but not detailed in the
tab. Interestingly this part sounds pretty darn fruity for
Megadeth when played on an acoustic. Buy hey, polished musicians
use classic chord progressions right?

This is the little riff after the chorus. It may take a couple
practice tries to get the bends to sound just right and clean.
Bending up 2 or 3 frets accurately is not too hard, but nailing
two different bends back to back is a slight challenge. (I just
wish he had varied the riff a bit throughout the song. It sounds
too commercial to hear the exact same catch phrase repeated.)

(I wasn't sure of the tab punctuation here... the bends should be
up 3 half-steps, then up 2 half-steps.)

Ain't got no job
Ain't got no smoke
Ain't got a car
His life's a joke
Living on the skids
Thinks the world's just fine
Forgot what he did
Dancing on the breadline
No one there to bind him
Nothing to remind him
Nowhere left to find him
About to lose his lifeline
He's dancing on the breadline
Forgot who he is
Forgot who he was
Used to call the shots
Now he can't connect the dots
A mover and shaker
Getting closer to his maker
Lower than a hemline
Dancing on the breadline
No one there to bind him
Nothing to remind him
Nowhere left to find him
About to lose his lifeline
He's looking for a headline
Sniffing up the white lines
He's dancing on the breadline
Watch him dance
About to lose his lifeline
He's looking for a headline
Sniffing up the white lines
He's dancing on the breadline
No one, nothing, nowhere
The breadline dancing on the breadline
Dancing on the breadline
He forgot and he ain't got nothing
