VERSE -i'm not gonna type the words, just the chord progression. Its only
three chords
Chord Structure
Name       eadcgbe
F5            x810 10 xx
E5            x799xx
G              355433
Just repeat those chords through the verse. Make sure you strum all the way
through the barred G chord-it makes it sound better.
CHORUS- listen to the song to get the rhythm down. Change between Bm, A, and
G is pretty quick at first, but practice makes perfect!
Name        eadcgbe
C5            x355xx
Bm           x24432
A             x02220
G              355433
After the chorus, play the intro again, then the verse then the chorus again
until the bridge.
BRIDGE
Name     eadcgbe
Bm         x24432
C            x32010
Bm
Everything has chains
C
Absolutely nothings changed                bridge
Back to the CHORUS, then there's the little bass interlude, after which, you
play the intro again. The chords for the end are E5, A, C.
That's It!!!!! Email any comments to GuitarPJ17@aol.com

Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture The other James Wanna Be	#1 by The other James Molina at Oct 1, 2007 at 1:51 PM EST
	im wondering in what context he means: cant buy what I want beacuse its free, cant be what you want because i am free..any suggestions?

skater-boy Rhythm Player	#2 by skater-boy at Oct 2, 2007 at 5:40 PM EST
	dmitri is correct -- first line of the 2nd verse is supposed to say "varmint's path", not firmest. It is clearly a "V" being enunciated by Eddie.

alex Average	#3 by alex at Oct 9, 2007 at 7:16 PM EST
	I AGREE... I WAS REFERRING TO THE FIRST TIME... (HE SAYS BREAD)

Zach Wanna Be	#4 by Zach U haft 2 ask 1st at Oct 10, 2007 at 1:28 AM EST
	yups kewl quote :) it is a really nice song and has the power in it, to make you at least feel at the slightest bit how that person feels

Neal Average	#5 by Neal Breen at Oct 11, 2007 at 8:42 PM EST
	thanx bellyfull

The Guitar Guy Lead Player	#6 by The Guitar Guy at Oct 18, 2007 at 5:06 AM EST
	Artsy- I think in the context of the song he means that the things that he wants: common courtesy, privacy, love, respect...are all things that cannot be bought with money...but the more money you have the less of those things you tend to get. Cant be what you want because Im free.... that means that Eddie doesnt want to be your answer man or your dancing monkey because he is trying to live his own life. Your Parents might have wanted you to become a doctor, but you wanted to be a ballet dancer-- you cant be what they want because youre free! 2 of the 3 times I saw them in concert they opened with this song!
