Strum
D-DU-UDU
When played on an acoustic, this can become a very mellow tune. You can strum however
you like, but it has an upbeat rhythm naturally.
In the transition from verse to chorus to verse, keep strumming G in time with the song,
but just before the lead into the next part, you'll hit a quick C - D and then back to
G. Each note of the transition, C-D, are only played for one beat. You can do this for
each transition if you like, just to keep the feel of the old style. This is really the
most complicated part, once you figure out how you want to strum it.
There was a man who banged his head against a wall
He banged for 20 years, but the damn thing wouldnt fall
He left an honest life
He left a broken wife
He left it all behind, just to see what he could find
Millions and millions chase the wild goose tonight
To conquer loneliness theyll chase it all their lives
And when they find it they can just lay down and die
It seems the game is mostly pointless in the presence of the prize.
There was a woman who had a man as cold as ice
He built four walls so strong and he kept her locked inside
She harbored loneliness
Her husband couldnt guess
That shed take off her dress
And kill herself without a mess.
Millions and millions chase the wild goose tonight
To conquer loneliness theyll chase it all their lives
And when they find it they can just lay down and die
It seems the game is mostly pointless in the presence of the prize.
