Ethan Hawke - Im Nuthin

{tuning: Standard (EADGBE)}
       [E][A][D][G][B][E]            [E][A][D][G][B][E]            [E][A][D][G][B][E]
[A]                 [Eb]                [Dsus2]
[A]                 [Esus4]             [Em]
[E]                 [F#m]               [G]
[D]                 [Bm]                [G]
[Asus2]             [Bsus2]

This song was played in the movie Reality Bites and it was the actor
Ethan Hawke who sang it. I really like this song. But in the movie
he just plays VERSE 1 and then the CHORUS/OUTRO. The first chorus,
which was not played in the movie, has totally different chords
than the CHORUS/OUTRO. Enjoy!

When you're playing the A chord, most of the time
you should play it like this:

{sot}    [A]         [A]           [A]          [A]    [A]
E|--------------------------------------------|
B|--2-2---2---3--3--3-2-3-2--2---2---3--3-2---|
G|--2-2---2---2--2--2-2-2-2--2---2---2--2-2---|
D|--2-2---2---4--4--4-2-4-2--2---2---4--4-2---|
A|--0-0---0---0--0--0-0-0-0--0---0---0--0-0---|
E|--------------------------------------------|{eot}

It's played like that in all the verses and the intro.
The only comfortable way to play this is to use your
index finger to play the A chord, then when you play the
A* you can just hammer on the D and B strings with your
middle and ring finger. Like Keith Richards does.

When you see something like 'D (sus2)' it just means
play the D chord but throw in the Dsus2 a bit. A lot
of times he plays A and then throws in a Asus2 for
instance.

OK, then you should be ready to play the song.

[A]Got a pothead mama, got a cokehead dad

I'm an ultramodern version of the American man

{section: Verse 2}
[play like verse 1]

Ain't no republicrat, no demmican, they ain't nuthin' in between

Cause me, you see, I'm nuthin'

[F#m]Don't even make sense that I [E]wrote this song, [Eb]oh

[A]I'm nuthin'
