Tuning: E A D G B E

This is an unreleased track from The Hip's 1986 demo recorded by Ken Greer. I'd encourage you to look the demo up on YouTube for reference, as there are parts I'm not sure of the lyrics. Any suggestions would be welcome. [Intro] Em Dsus2 x4 [Verse 1]

^EmHe asked me ^Dwhere I'm at It's ^Gdown a block a^Cround the back ^EmSummer's ^Dhead been cracked But ^Gtruth be known, I'm ^Cwild like that

^EmOn any ^Dother day ^EmWe'd prob'ly ^Dturn away ^CWe made the call, we never ^Dtake the rap

Em Dsus2 x4 [Verse 2]

^Emand all the ^Dtime I lost to ^Gfind a cure I ^Cpaid the cost ^EmI climbed a ^Dcastle wall de^Gspite my fear I ^Cfought it all

^EmI've taken ^Dthis and that ^EmBeen a^Dround and back ^CMaking out like things were ^Dreally tough ^CNever knowing when to ^Dsay "enough"

[Chorus]

^GWelcome to the ^CNuclear ^DBBQ ^GWelcome those who ^Ccan't afford to ^Dwait Where we ^Galways done the ^Cthings that we ^Dwanted to Well it's ^Ceasy on the ^Gnorth side of the ^Dlake

^EmMason ^DScott come back He ^Gdone some time but ^Cbeat the rap ^EmTried to ^Dtake him back from ^GMason's mom and ^Cher friend Jack

^EmEven though we ^Dprayed ^EmHe'd always ^Dgo away ^CHis mother said that his ^Dkind was trash ^CI never will forget the ^Dway he laughed

[Chorus]

^GWelcome to the ^CNuclear ^DBBQ ^GWelcome those who ^Ccan't afford to ^Dwait Where we ^Galways done the ^Cthings that we ^Dwanted to Well it's ^Ceasy on the ^Gnorth side of the ^Dlake

[Bridge]

^CFeeling young and living ^Gfast Never think about the ^Ampast Never learned to make it ^Emlast

^CBroken lines and sleepless ^Gnights Neon lights that cures all ^Ambites Start out wrong, can't get it ^Dright

[Solo] Em Dsus2 x4 [Verse 3]

^EmSomeone's ^Dgot to lose to ^Gsome degrees, ^Csome pay the dues ^EmMadman ^Dslipped the noose The ^Gmeek stay home and ^Cwatch the news

^EmAnother ^Dman in black ^EmAnother ^Dheart attack ^CWe hang on hope but wonder ^Dwhat's the use ^CIt seems that some just never ^Dget to choose

[Chorus]

^GWelcome to the ^CNuclear ^DBBQ ^GWelcome those who ^Ccan't afford to ^Dwait Here we'v^Ge always done th^Ce things that w^De wanted to Well it's ^Ceasy on the ^Gnorth side of the ^Dlake

And I said

^GWelcome to the ^CNuclear ^DBBQ ^GWelcome those who ^Ccan't afford to ^Dwait Here we'v^Ge always done th^Ce things that w^De wanted to Well it's ^Ceasy on the ^Gnorth side of the ^Dlake

It's so ^Ceasy on the ^Gnorth side of the ^Dlake So damn ^Ceasy on the ^Gnorth side of the ^Dlake

[Outro] Em Dsus2
