Standard Tuning
I wanted to play this song acoustically so I came up with this to kind of mix the
bass and guitar together and I think it sounds
pretty decent. Works best if you have another guitar to play the little lead part
during the chorus.
Just as a heads-up, this is how I play the chords but you can do it any other way
(this just sounds best to me):
A C#m Abm B E Eb/B
e|--0-------4---0---0---0------|
B|--0---5---4---0---0---0------|
G|--6---6---4---8---9---8------|
D|--7---6---6---9---9---9------|
A|--7---4---6---9---7---6------|
E|--5-------4---7---0----------|
AYou've been famous since your C#mbirth
And a silent one it Abmwas,
Till they told me it's a Bgirl
And everybody Agasped
I know how to raise you C#mright
Teach you how to Abmread
Do math, share toys spell names and Balphabet
And how to be Apolite C#m Abm B
AYou've been famous since your C#mbirth
And a silent one it Abmwas,
Till they told me it's a Bgirl
And everybody Asaid
You and your atlas know it C#mall
Let the corners Abmcurl
Cause if you go by Bnight
You'll hit the coast for Esure
------------------------------------------
...Verse goes straight into chorus on E

Chorus
E Eb/B Abm
It's a ruse, it's a laugh
Experts, they'd aBgree

AI've put down my middle C#mname
In the back of her Abmbook
And signed it just in Bcase
Our walk was over Alove
Cause I've got one more up my C#msleeve
Bring it out Abmtonight
Cause if I am the Bjoke
Then you're the punchline E

I need a Esecond opinion
Not a second to waste
