->
Seen all good things and bad
running down the hill
All so battered and brought to the
ground
->
I am hungry again
I am drunk again
With all the money I owe to my
friends
When I'm like this
How can you be smiling, saying
inhale deeply!):
Ho-o-w can you be sure?
Ho-o-w can you be sure?
If you walk out that door, will I see you again
if so much of me lies in your eyes?
I am hungry again, I am drunk again
With all the money I owe to my friends
instrumental)
Chorus w/ "I don^Òt want you anymore" vocals overdubbed
end
Notes on the chords:
I'm not sure what to call the B that I hear in the song, but I think it
might be a B5. It's fingered thusly; essentially just a power chord.
e--X---
B--0---
G--4---
D--4---
A--2---
E--X---
Also, the A2->A is accomplished through a hammer-on, like so:
e--0---2-2
B--0---0h2
G--2---2-2
D--2---2-2
A--0---0-0
E--0---0-0
I think the Gm employed in the chorus is played with some open strings:
e--0
B--0
G--4
D--6
A--6
E--x
And finally, the E5 in the chorus is played like an open D, but barred up 2
frets (kinda like how you might play an Eb)
e--x
B--5
G--4
D--2
A--2
E--0
