Sidekick by Man Overboard
Sidekick
D# G# C# F# A# D#
*Note that because of the alternate tuning (tune the guitar to half step down),
most--if not all chords are flat(s). So for instance, it is an E flat that you
will be playing. The diagram below is the correct chord configurations
E: 079900 or 022000 I would recommend muting the high E and B strings for the most part
B: 024400
A: 002200
E B
Open your eyes kid
E B
You know I'm on your side kid
E B
I'd like to save the world
E B
and you could be my sidekick
E B A
They'll all say our names
E B A
As the words down on the paper answer yesterday's dreams
Interlude:
E B A x2
E B
I've lived a lie kid
E B
I'd love to run and hide kid
E B
You could say fuck them all
E B
and ditch the world like I did
E B A
They'll all say our names
E B A
As the words down on the paper answer yesterday's dreams
E B A
We could be
E B A
untouchable, untouchable

likely improv it)

version 2
Tuning: Eb (Half Step Down)
As you'll see, the song revolves around two basic progressions
(relative to standard tuning - 1. E Maj, G#, A and 2. E Major, B, A).
The power chord A sounds a little better for me, but you can play the
full open chord if you want.
