Strumming
Tuning: E A D G B E
[Intro]
(8 bar piano solo)
Strum once per bar:
Em (779987)
Dsus4
DC (032013)
(Use this position of E minor only in the intro. The C with the high G is important in the intro, but can be
used interchangeably with normal C in the rest of the song except where specified. Cmaj7 and Dsus4 can be
used as decoration to make the chord progression more interesting instead of the normal major chords as well.)
[Verse]
(Strum pattern is too exact - add extra strums where you want, but keep the sound empty - the space between
strums is important here)
C Hey brother
DHappy returns
It's been a Emwhile now
I bet you thought that CI was dead
C But I'm still here
DNothing's changed
Nothing's chaEmnged
C Hey brother
I'd Dlove to tell you I've been busy
But Emthat would be a lie
C Cause the truth is
The Cmaj7years just pass like trains
I Dwave but they don't slow down
Em Don't sloCw down
[Chorus}
||: C Cmaj9 Am G D
Too doo doo doo, doo doo la da da
D Dsus4 D [sus2] C
la da da da da
CToo doo Cmaj9doo Amdoo, doo Gdoo Dla da da :|| (Play twice)
[Verse 2] (Put acoustic down, pick electric up, don't play)
C Hey brother
I see the Dfreaks and dispossessed on day release
Em Avoiding the policeC
C I feel I'm falling oncDe again
But now there's no one left to catch me Em
C Hey brother
I feel I'm Dliving in parentheses
And I've got Emtrouble with the bills
Do the Ckids remember me?
C Well, I've got gifts for them
DAnd for you much sorrow
But I'm Emfeeling kind of drowsy now
So I'll Cfinish this tomorrow
