This song is played in Standart Tuning and im sure, that this is 100% correct.
It's a very simple song.
Here are the Chords you gonna need:
E A D g b e
C 0 3 2 0 1 0
C/B 0 2 0 0 1 0
Am 0 0 2 2 1 0
F 1 3 3 2 1 1 or X X 3 2 1 X (F alternative)
Em 0 2 2 0 0 0
G 3 2 0 0 3 3
G* 3 5 5 4 3 3
For the Intro rythm, just plug the Bass string, folowed by a Down Up Stroke
Important! On the F Chord, you have to plug the 3 fret of the D String (high F
root) as Bass(Intro only). In this Case, you can play the F alternative wich is shown above.
Intro: C C/B Am F C/B C (2X)
The strumming pattern is changing now. Watch the song on youtube to get this. (Not that hard)
Verse 1:
CTrouble travels fast
CWhen your specially designed for Amcrash testin'
Wearin' wool sunglasses in the Emafternoon
C'mon, tell us what you're Ftrying to prove
It's a Cbattle when you dabble in war
You stole it up,
UnAmleash it,
Then piece it together
Whether storm Emdrain random, stamp it,
Send it to someFbody pretendin to care
Just Ccash in your blanks
For little toy tanks
Learn how to Amuse them and abuse them
and choose them over
ConversEmations, relationships,are overrated
i Fhated everyone said the sun
so will Ccook all your books
your too good lookin and mistooken
you could Amwatch it instead from the comfort
of your burning bEmeds
well you could sleep through the Fstatic G
CHORUS:
Well Cwho needs C/Bsleep when Amwe got love
F G* C
and who needs keys when we've got clubs
and Cwho needs C/Bpolice when Amwe've got guns
F G* C
and who needs peace when we've gone above
but Cbeyond C/Bwhere we've should've Amgone
we went beFyond Gwhere we should've Cgone
VERSE 2 (Exactly played like Verse 1) :
Stuck between channels my thoughts all quit
i Thought about them too much
allowed them to touch
the feelings of rain down on the planes
all dried and cracked
waiting for things that never came
well such a shocking thing to make somebody think
they have to choose pushin for peace
suportin the troops
and either your weak
or you use brute force feed
truth is say not as we do
ya say anytime, anywhere
just show your teeth
and strike a fear
God wears camouflage
cries at night
and drives a dodge, pick up
the beat, stop hoggin the feast
thats no way to treat an enemy
Mighty, mighty appetite
we'll just em up
and keep on drivin'
freedom can't be freezed
take a picture from the pretty side
min d your manner
wave your banners
what a wonderful world this angle can see
CHORUS (again) (exactly played like shown above)
This Part comes after the Chrous.
(Strumming pattern is changing again completly)
It goes like: Down Up Hit Up Down Up Hit (Happy sounding strumming)
COh Jesus i love you and i love Buddha too
FRamakrishna, Guru Dev
Tao Te Ching and Mohammed
CWhy do people say
that there is just one way to
Flove you God i come to you
we are all apart of you
Cis the universe your thought
you are and you are not
Fyou are all and you are non
every end or just begun
AlCright
Alright
AlFright
I love you and Buddha too
AlCright
(Last C let ring out)
Alright! So have fun with that! :-)
