Solid Jackson
By: Bright Eyes
Tabbed by: Daniel Shinall

Chords used: A        x02220
             Asus4    x02230
             A7       x02223
             E        022100

            A                          Asus4
She says she's read too many fashion magazines
A                              Asus4
She's forgotten what real love is like
A                                         Asus4
And as the basement collects more kids off the street
A                                               Asus4
They smoke themselves to death waiting for the band to begin

A                                     Asus4
They've been tuning up there for an hour now
A                                      Asus4
And I don't think I can stand another minute more
A                                           Asus4
But just then the first chord strums, and the drums set in
A                                  Asus4
And I know what I have been waiting around for
     A                                   E
Because no one's going home until the morning comes
  A                                     E
No one's going to sleep until the sun comes up
   A
Did you hear those first two songs?
  E
They were fucking tuff
  A                                                E
And the band's not going to stop until the cops show up
  A            E                 A  E
So hold your applause until the end
   A              E              A   E
And wait for the sadness to set in
  A                    E
Cause that's the only feeling that's worth a damn

 A                                 Asus4
He says he's done with the pop music scene
  A                                       Asus4
There's too many opinions and so few are worth a shit
 A                                    Asus4
He has got to learn to act a little more mean
    A                                         Asus4
Cause the mean ones always end up with the record deals
 A                                  E
But it's only when I'm angry that I feel complete
    A                                          E
When we are screaming at each other is when I'm most happy
  A                                        E
I hang out with my friends and then I get depressed
  A                                                 E
And I drink myself to sleep with any strength that's left
 A                          E
And I quit going to church a year ago
     A                              E
And my teachers think that my faith is gone
 A                        E
But I can do without the eucharist
 A             E                      A
Cause I found God in a Solid Jackson song

  (and then, when he's singing "a Solid Jackson song", at the end of "song"
    Play this again and do some screaming and yelling and such)
