Capo: 2
Hi All, great tune covered and mixed with couple of other great tunes. Lyrics and chords
from concert Weekend at the Greek. Capo 2nd Fret. Enjoy.
Opening is just D with alternating plucking on the D and A string. Throughout the song
always pluck the base string, listen to it and you will hear what I am saying. Look at
the bottom for explanation of what he does on the A with *, and A**.
DI don't care if it rains or freezes
Gas long as I've got my plastic Jesus
D A*
sitting on the dashboard of my car
Dit comes in colors pink and pleasant
Git glows in the dark cause its iridescent
DI'll take it with me wheAnever I go fDar
Dso give me my lady Madonna
Gdressed in rhinestones and sitting on a
D A*
pedestal of abalone shells
Ddriving 90 but I'm not scared
Gbecause I've got my Virgin Mary
Dassuring me that I will Anever go to hDell
D (Plucking D string)
DAnd by the way You know that
Dhope will make you strange
DMake you blink, make you blank, make you sink
DIt will make you afGraid of change
GAnd often blame
GThe box with the view of the world
And the walls that fill the frDame
DI turn it up
Dbut then I turn it off
DBecause I can't stand when they start to talk
About the huGrting and killing
GWhose shoes are we filling
GThe damage and ruin
GMan, the things that we're doing
Good gDod, We gotta stop, we gotta turn it all off
DWe gotta rewind
Dand start it up again
A**
Because we fell across the fall line
AAin't there nothing sacred anyGmore
GNana nana nana Dna
G, D, G, D, G, D
DSomebody saw him jump
But nobody saw him slip
I guess he lost a lot of hope
And then he lost his grip
Now he's lyGing in the freeway
In the middle of this mess
Guess we lost another one
Just like the other one
DOptimistic hypocrite
That didn't have the nerve to quit
The things that kept him wanting more
Until he finally reached the core
A**
He fell across the fall line
AAin't there nothing sacred anGymore
G
A**
We all fell across the fall line
AAin't there nothing sacred anGymore
GNana nana nana Dna
G, D, G, D
GNana nana nana Dna
GAll my fDriends are getting oGlder,
AI guess I must be BMtoo.
Without their love and kGindness
AI don't want I'll do
Oh tGhe wine bottle's half eDmpty
AThe money's all been sBMpent
We're a cross between our paGrents
And hiAppies in a tent.
Oh, LGove calls just like a wDild bird
AIt's just another BMday
Spring blew my lGist of tAhings to do aDway.
G,D,G,D
GIn a muDcked up lovely rGiver
AI cast my my little BMfly
But I look at that river and I sGmell it and
it mAakes me want to cry, Oh
GTo clean our dirty plDanet
ANow there's a noble wBMish
Now I putting shoulder tGo the wheel
ACause I wanna catch some fish, Oh
LGove calls just like a wDild bird
AIt's just another BMday
Spring blew my lGist of thAings to do aDway.
A* At this point Jack plucks the open A string and strums A. Then covers the E string
on the second fret with his thumb, pluck and then strum A again. Then he returns to D.
A** Pluck open A string strum A, cover E string on 2nd fret pluck and strum A again.
Cover E string on 3rd fret pluck and strum A. Cover E string on 2nd fret strum A.
Then he goes to G.
Hope this helps! If you listen to the song performed on "Weekend at the Greek"
you will hear what I am talking about.
