VERSE 3 - w/ RYTHYM FIG 2  

(two times)

forgot my woman, lost my friends

things I'd done and where I'd been

sleep in sweat, the mirror's cold

see my face, it's growing old



scared to death, no reason why

doing whatever to get me by

think about the things I've said

read the page it's cold and dead



and take me home

yeah, take me home

take me home

take me home, yeah take me



home yeah

*Play Main Melody 2 times for intro  

(no lyrics)

*Then play Main Melody with Lyrics:



Hey, I ain't never coming home

Hey, I'll just wander my own road

Hey, I can't meet you here tomorrow

Say goodbye don't follow



*Play Fill I and Ending I with lyric:

Misery so hollow



*Again play Main Melody 2 times no lyrics and then w/lyrics:



Hey you, you're livin' life full throttle

Hey you, pass me down that bottle, yeah

Hey you, you can't shake me round now

I get so lost and I don't know how



*Play Fill I, but replace Ending I with a D chord: -2-

-3-

 

(with the lyric:) -2-

And it hurts to care, I'm going down ---

---

---



*There's a short pause and then the song alternates between an A chord and

D chord till the final outro. You'll have to listen to the song for the

rhythm--sorry!! There are hammer-ons for both chords as follows:



 

(A)  

(D)

|--0---------------| |--0>2-------------|

|--0>2-------------| |--3---------------|

|--2---------------| |--2---------------|

|--2---------------| |--0---------------|

|--0---------------| |--0---------------|

|--0---------------| |--0---------------|



*The lyrics in this section are as follows:

Forgot my woman, lost my friends

Things I'd done and where I've been

Sleep in sweat the mirrors cold

See my face it's growin' old

Scared to death no reason why

Do whatever to get me by

Think about the thing I said

Read the page it's cold and dead



Take me home  

(5 times then the outro:)



*The outro is simply the Main Melody played ONCE ONLY and then

play Fill I with the D chord ending to the lyric:

Say goodbye don't follow
