Note: The chord labeled "Asus2" is not actually Asus2; I just couldn't find a name for it.
Now, the sections that go can be strummed, but Elliott plays
something like this:
|-----------------------------------|
|-------0--------------1------------|
|-------0-------------------0-------|
|-------2----------2------------2---|
|-------2---0h2---------------------|
|---0---0---------------------------|
Thats not exact, but its pretty easy to figure out the strumming if you listen
to the song.
No bad dream fucker's going to boss me around
Christian Brothers going to take him down
But it can't help me get over
Don't be cross, it's sick what I want
I've seen the boss blink on and off
Fake concerns is what's the matter, man
And you think I ought to shake your motherfucking hand
Well, I know how much you care
Don't be cross, it's sick what I want
I've seen the boss blink on and off
Come here by me, I want you here
Nightmares become me, it's so fucking clear
Don't be cross, it's sick what I want
I've seen the boss blink on and off
Come here by me, I want you here
Nightmares become me, it's so fucking clear
Nightmares become me, it's so fucking clear
If you want to play the solo while you strum the chords, here is what I do.
Again, its not exact, but you can figure out how to play it on your own pretty
easily.
