   CHORDS:
   -------
        EADGBE 
   E5  (022xxx)
   B5  (799xxx)
   A5  (577xxx)
   F#5 (244xxx)
   
   
   21.04.00 - Just found some major errors in the main riff and the
   guitar solo for this song. Fixed it, should be correct now.

   Someone requested this song. I don't like it very much myself,
   I mean it's not bad, but it's nothing special. I did this in
   kind of a hurry so you'll excuse me if there are any mistakes.
   I think it's pretty much correct though.
   
   
   INTRO:
   ------
   [RIFF 1 should actually be played by two guitars, one
    playing just the chords, and the other playing just the
    single notes, but I've arranged it for one guitar]
   
     RIFF 1:
       E5                              B5 A5
   E|----------------------------------------|    h = hammer-on
   B|----------------------------------------|    / = slide up
   G|---8/9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9--8/9-9-9-9-9-------|    \ = slide down
   D|---x---x-x-x-x-x-x-x--x---x-x-x-x-9--7--|
   A|---6/7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7--6/7-7-7-7-7-9--7--|
   E|----------------------------------7--5--|
          |
   Play this twice
   
   
   You play the chords in the verses like this:
       E5                            B5 A5
   E|--------------------------------------|
   B|--------------------------------------|
   G|--------------------------------------|
   D|--2-2------2-2------2-2------2--9--7--|
   A|--2-2------2-2------2-2------2--9--7--|
   E|--0-0------0-0------0-0------0--7--5--|
   
   
   VERSE 1:
   --------
   E5                                           B5  A5
   Can we forget about the things I said when I was drunk?
   E5                              B5 A5
   I didn't mean to call you that
   E5                                               B5 A5
   I can't remember what was said or what you threw at me
   E5                       B5 A5
   Please tell me, please tell me
   
   
   
   In the chorus a second guitar plays a simple line while
   the main guitar plays the chords. It's like this: [play twice]
       E5              F#5             A5              B5
   E|--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-2-2-2-2-4---5--|
   B|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
   G|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
   D|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
   A|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
   E|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
   
   CHORUS:
   -------
   E5      F#5
   Why
                    A5              B5
   my car is in the frontyard,  and I'm
                    E5           F#5
   sleeping with my clothes on
                       A5            B5
   came in through the window,  last night
              E5 [play RIFF 1 twice (same as intro]
   and you're gone,     gone  
   
   
   VERSE 2: [play like verse 1]
   --------
   It's no surprise to me I am my own worst enemy
   'Cause every now and then I kick the living shit out of me
   The smoke alarm is going off and there's a cigarette
   still burning, please tell me 
   
   
   CHORUS: [play like first chorus]
   -------
   Why
   my car is in the frontyard,  and I'm
   sleeping with my clothes on
   came in through the window,  last night
              [instead of playing RIFF 1 here, play the solo below]
   and you're gone
