Okay, so I know Big Wreck plays in a really weird tuning, but I made this simplified
version for anyone that wants to play it with ease. It's a half-step up from the
original song. However, if you want to play it with the original tuning, the fretting
of the special notes (see next) remains the same.
In this chord diagram I have placed footnote numbers (1) and (2). See the bottom
or details.
INTRO: (1)
(1)
So we were on our way home
On the right bus
I just want to ask the driver
If it's not too much fuss
To Gdrop me at the old lady's
And pick me up tomorrow
(1)
If you could, If you could
It's aAll by design
To kBmeep Dme from Glosing my Dmind
Well I was oDn my way there
And it was just around the corner
I caught a funny stare
And started a fight with the owner
Well it's the Gwhole nine yards
D (2) (2)
And I fold all my cards in your face, oh
'Cause I lGove what is real
And I loved you my dear
D (2)
Before you were replaced
Oh, you were replaced
And it's aAll by design
To kBmeep Dme from lGosing my mDind
So I sDaw you over there
And acted like I don't care
'Cause I've never seen something that made me stare
[SOLO- Sorry, I couldn't tab this if I tried, I'm not that good!]
Yeah, so then we rGun through your backyards
D (2)
And throw all my best cards in your face
Yeah in your face
Because I lGove what is real
And I loved you my dear before I was replaced
D (2)
I was replaced
And it's aAll by design
Bm D G D (2)
To keep me from losing my mind
It's aAll by design
To kBmeep Dus from lGosing our Dminds
We were Don our way home
And we were on the right bus
I just want to tell the driver
Don't bother 'cause it's a bust
THE END!
Footnotes:
(1)- This is a chord called (in full) "A add9 no5 ||R23" and I didn't think I could fit
all this in the space I had. It is played like this:
e|--------7
B|-------6-
G|-0-------
D|--------7
A|-0-------
E|X--------
(2) This is a sliding thing that just sounds cool, and I don't think the song sounds
quite complete without it. So here it is. It's not hard to tell where it is exactly in the song.
