Capo: 2

A Good Life- Jill Sobule Tabbed by:rainagain Email: Tuning: Standard. Capo on 2nd fret. Sounds good with arpeggios or strumming. This is based on Jill's own great instructional video she put on youtube. (Two quick strums, or one fast downwards arpeggio - plucking base note then three strings - per chord for verse and the chorus; like 2/2 timing. Bridge section is slower, more like 4/4 timing.) VERSE:

Tomorr^Gow the ^Dground ma^Gy sha^Dke Like th^Gey said ^Dit was b^Gound to ^Dhappen one day

And the^G Hollywo^Dod sign w^Gill fal^Dl The^G f^Dinal ca^Gll ^D

BRIDGE:

We^Emll, don't you fret, an^Bmd don't be blue C C7 (add little finger on third fret on G string) You had me and I had you

CHORUS:

It^G was a g^Dood lif^Eme I^Ct was a go^Dod, good li^Gfe

G D G D (for each line) Tomorrow we could all be gone When the Russian gangsters sell the bomb And the waves come roaring from the sea A hundred-foot swells over Venice Beach

Well^Em, don't be scared, and^Bm take my hand We'l^Cl swim into the Promised ^C7Land

It ^Gwas a good^D life ^Em It ^Cwas a goo^Dd, good li^Gfe

It^G was a goo^Dd life ^Em ^CIt was a g^Dood, good lif^Ge

G D G D (for each line) Tomorrow a tiny cell might grow In everyone, and it's not the cold Or the hole in the sky will open wide The aliens land on the 105

^EmIf it comes to that ^BmWhat can we do?

^CYou loved me and I lov^C7ed you ^GIt was a go^Dod life ^Em

^CIt was a goo^Dd, good li^Gfe ^GIt was a goo^Dd life ^Em

^CIt was a goo^Dd, good life^G (Then the same chords again for the rest of the song: G, D Em; C, D, G).

I said a boom boom crash crash underneath the overpass Burning buildings, flying glass A good life On the day the earth stood still, we won't have to pay our bills As the mud slides down the hill, a good life And we won't have to make our beds Break out the booze, and like I said Let's have a ball before we're dead A good life Let the pyres rise above We'll go down in our sweet love It was a good, good life
