Just as a reminder, I'd like to say that there is no defenite conclusion to this map
I've written down, and as an example i've deleted one note from the 4th string (below),
which is the same note as in the 3rd string. As you see above (in version 2.) I've
choosen to play that note, but only because I thought it sounded deeper or more livid,
eventhough the 3rd and 4th string is strummed in the exact same tone. Do what ever you
want with it!

version 2
E7
You're a prison I can't escape
You're a decision I never make
A7
Heard me laughing
E7
You heard me weep and moan
B7 A7
When it's good, it's so, so good
E7* A7 E7
When it's gone, it's gone
*Perhaps a D or G chord there? Try it out.
That is the basic form of the song. The rest of it continues in similar fashion.
They say time will kill the pain
I say pain is gonna kill my time
Lord won't you save me
Or leave me alone
Cause when it's good, it's so, so good
When it's gone, it's gone
Oh- gone
I hang your picture right above my mind
Don't do anything you can't deny
I could never be your pawn
Oh- cause when it's good, it's so, so good
When it's gone, it's gone
Some drink to remember
Some to forget
Some for satisfaction
Some to regret
I hope a brighter day to you I've shown
Oh- cause when it's good, it's so, so good
And when it's gone, it's gone
When it's gone, it's gone
When it's gone, it's gone
When it's gone, Oh- it's gone
