New Bad Things - Goethes Letter To Vic Chesnut
this is from "Freewheel," released in 1995 by Candy-Ass Records.
Transcribed by me, Jennifer Starfish.
every time a line leads off with G, right before it there's a hammer
on/off on the low E, which means you play on low E: 0, 1, 0; and carry it
straight into...
G em
let me put it to you this way:
am C
you will be hit by a truck and you will fall from your bicycle
G em
and no-one will recall
am C
who you were, except your friends and your enemies
am em
and all the stuff you could've written
am em
'bout times when you were sick, or smitten
am em D G
will mean about as much as your corpse
G em
let me put it to you this way:
am C
I've been writing songs for almost 7 years now
G em
and I haven't said a single thing
am C
of lasting import. or social significance
am em
but I know from reading all your letters
am em
and midnight coffee double-headers
am em D G
that maybe you could do better than me
G em
let me put it to you this way:
am C
you will be hit by a bus, and you will die inside the ambulance
G em
and no-one will recall
am C
who you are (or I mean WERE) except your friends and your relatives
am em
and all the stuff you could've written
am em
and all the words you could've hidden
am em D G
will mean about as much as your corpse
(ends on a G)
