Please note: on the version of the cd you mostly only hear the lower notes of the
chords strummed. And dont get scared by the F5 powerchord, I think a F#minor
also works in stead off the F5 if youre planning to play everything in bare.
But as i said you only hear the lower notes so the F5 was more of an indication
of what strings to hit. I try to keep as much open chords in my playing as possible though :)
x 2
If i was a farmer
Instead of a faker
If i was a realer
and not just some raker
Raking through a memory
that doesn't belong to me
Just someone I could of been
if only i kept walking...
Have another drink my son
Enjoy another cigarette
'Cos it's time you realised...
you're just an average man...
Alone on a motorway
you catch you're breath
Cat's eyes lead everyway
to lonesomness
Since you learn to hide your fears
and downsize your dreams
Still alive, still sincere
inside the scheme...
Have another drink my son
Enjoy another cigarette
'Cos it's time you realised...
you're just an average man...
(different chord progression)
And ff this is dark-ness here
And if this is dark-ness... coming
Have another drink my son
Enjoy another cigarette
'Cos it's time you realised...
you're just an average man...
