I'm not real sure about that. It's the catchy
litte intro riff and it's been giving me fits.

Verse lyrics:
1st:
I wonder what it's like to be the rain-maker
I wonder what it's like to know that I made
The rain.......yeah...
2nd:
(I wonder what it's like to be a superhero)
(I wonder where I'd go if I could fly around)
(Downtown.......yeah)
3rd:
[I wonder what it's like to be the head honcho]
[I wonder what I'd do if they all did just what
I said. (Just what I said).]
Prechorus

1st:
I'd store it in boxes with little yellow tags on everyone
And you could come and see them when I'm done
{Fill Riff A 4x}
When I'm done.......... *To verse*
2nd:
(From some other planet I get this funky high on a yellow
Sun; Boy I bet my friends would all be stunned.
{Fill Riff A 4x}
Their stunned) *To Chorus*
3rd:
[I'd shout out an order I think were out of this man
Get me some; Boy, don't make me wanna change my tone
{Fill Riff A 4x}
My tone.... *to chorus*
1st Chorus:
Gtr 2:
Rhy. Fig 3
(Yeah....)
A#5Straight up, G5what did you F5hope to learn about here?
A#5If I was someone G5else, would this all F5fall apart?
A#5Strange, where were you G5when we F5started this gig?
A#5I wish the F5real G5world would jF5ust stop A#5hasselin me.
Riff A (Gtr 1)
And you, and me, and you, and me...
Gtr 1:
Riff C:
A#5 G5 F5
e|-------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------|
G|-----15------------------------------|
D|---15--15--------17---------15-------|
A|-13------13----17--17-----15--15-----|
E|-------------15-----15--13------13---|
I'm sure about this part here. Whenever
Gtr 2 changes chords, so does Gtr 1 playing the
arpeggioed major chords here. Then fill Riff A
at the end.
2nd chorus: w/riff C
(Yeah....)
A#5Straight up, G5what did you F5hope to learn about here?
A#5If I was someone G5else, would this all F5fall apart?
A#5Strange, where were you G5when we F5started this gig?
A#5I wish the F5real G5world would jF5ust stop A#5hasselin me.
A#5Please don't change, G5please don't break
F5Well the only thing that seems A#5to work at all G5is F5you
A#5 G5 Riff A
Please don't change at all... from me... to you.. and
You.... to me.... yeah......
Solo:
Gtr 2 plays A#5 and G5 in the background
Gtr 1: (Strum each chord /////)
e|---------------------------------------------------|
B|-10--13-16-18-14-15-12-16-19-17-13-12-10-10-10-----|
G|--9--12-15-17-13-14-11-15-18-16-12-12-10--9--9-----|
D|---------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------|
This is a very weak solo attempt. It sounds
decent, though, and most people you play for
probably won't notice if you play quickly enough.
3rd chorus: w/Riff C
(Yeah....)
A#5Straight up, G5what did you F5hope to learn about here?
A#5If I was someone G5else, would this all F5just fall apart?
A#5Strange, where were you G5when we F5started this gig?
A#5I wish the F5real G5world would jF5ust stop A#5hasselin me.
A#5I wish the F5real G5world would jF5ust stop A#5hasselin me.
A#5I wish the F5real G5world would jF5ust stop A#5hasselin me.
A#5And you... G5annnnnnnF5d me
Fills:
After the first chorus:
Gtr 1:
Fill A:
e|-------------------------------|
B|-13-13-13-13-13-13-13-13-13/---|
G|-------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------|
During the third verse (head honcho) fill:
Gtr 3: acoustic
The exact strumming is hard to figure out, so I left
that to you, but the chords are:
G major, A major, F major (Barre F major).
Gtr 4: clean w/delay:
e|-----------------|
B|-7h8h9p8p7-------|
G|-----------------|
D|-----------------|
A|-----------------|
E|-----------------|
Actually, a synth plays this, but this is pretty close.
Fill Gtr 3 during the 3rd chorus at:
A barred, F barred, G barred.
That's my attempt at tabbing this. Corrections, comments,
