If I remember correctly, the single version is a bit shorter. When he's playing this song, everything he picks is picked in a strummy way if you know what I mean. So you don't have to be a 100% faithful to the tab, if you blend in some other notes from the chord it really doesn't matter that much. I tabbed the way he strums the verse and chorus chords but since it is really hard to tab out when someone is strumming you must forgive me if it's a bit off.

VERSE 1: -------- CHORUS: ------- Then you play this: [I think he doesn't play this in the version that's on the single, but he does in the version I have] Dm E* Dm E* E|------1------1/3---3----------1------1/3---5-3-- B|--------3----3/5-5-5-5----------3----3/5-5-5-5-- G|-2--------2--2/4-4---4---2--------2--2/4-4------ D|-0--0--------0-----------0--0--------0---------- A|------------------------------------------------ E|------------------------------------------------ Dm E* Dm E-------1------1/3---3----------1-----1-----1------| B---------3----3/5-5-5-5----------3-----3-----2----| G--2--------2--2/4-4---4---2--------2-----2-----3--| D--0--0--------0-----------0--0--------------------| A--------------------------------------------------| E--------------------------------------------------| VERSE 2: [play like verse 1] -------- Mary got pregnant from a kid named Tom that said he was in love He said, "Don't worry about a thing, baby doll I'm the man you've been dreaming of." But 3 months later he say he won't date her or return her calls And she swear, "God damn, if I find that man I'm cuttin' off his balls." And then she heads for the clinic and she gets some static walking through the door They call her a killer, and they call her a sinner and they call her a whore God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in her shoes 'Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to choose CHORUS: [play like previous chorus] ------- Then you really might know what it's like... Then you really might know what it's like... Then you really might know what it's like... Then you really might know what it's like... BRIDGE: [play RIFF 1] ------- [when you've played the bridge you play this:] Dm E* Dm E* E|------1------1/3---3----------1------1/3---5-3-- B|--------3----3/5-5-5-5----------3----3/5-5-5-5-- G|-2--------2--2/4-4---4---2--------2--2/4-4------ D|-0--0--------0-----------0--0--------0---------- A|------------------------------------------------ E|------------------------------------------------ Dm E* Dm E-------1------1/3---3----------1-----1-----1------| B---------3----3/5-5-5-5----------3-----3-----2----| G--2--------2--2/4-4---4---2--------2-----2-----3--| D--0--0--------0-----------0--0--------------------| A--------------------------------------------------| E--------------------------------------------------| VERSE 3: [play like verses 1 & 2] -------- I knew this kid named Max who used to get fat stacks out on the corner with drugs He liked to hang out late he liked to get shit-faced and keep the pace with thugs until late one night there was a big old fight and Max lost his head He pulled out his chrome .45, talked some shit, and wound up dead Now his wife and his kids are caught in the midst of all of this pain You know it comes that way At least that's what they say when you play the game God forbid you ever had to wake up to hear the news 'Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to lose CHORUS: ------- OUTRO: ------ I don't have the song with me but the outro goes something like this: Dm Fmaj7 E|-----1-----1-----1----------0-----0-----0------ B|-------3-----3-----3----------1-----1-----1---- G|---2-----2-----2-----2----2-----2-----2-----2-- D|-0----------------------3---------------------- A|----------------------------------------------- E|----------------------------------------------- C Dm E------0-----0-----0----------1-----1-----3-1--| B--------1-----1-----1----------3-----3--------| G----------0-----0-----0----2-----2-----2------| D----2--------------------0--------------------| A--3-------------------------------------------| E----------------------------------------------| Repeat the outro and fade out... ********************** Questions, comments, corrections, requests, send to: qualitytabs@collegemail.com ********************** Visit the QUALITY TABS INC.
