Ben Harper – When Its Good (Guitar)

These are the right chords. I'm not gonna tab out all of Ben's slide stuff because I don't play slide. Also, you can play this in standard tuning if you don't want to re- tune the guitar to open E.

E7 
You're a prison I can't escape

You're a decision I never make

A7
Heard me laughing

                                                E7
You heard me weep and moan

B7                           A7
When it's good, it's so, so good

               E7*   A7     E7 
When it's gone, it's gone

*Perhaps a D or G chord there? Try it out. That is the basic form of the song. The rest of it continues in similar fashion. They say time will kill the pain I say pain is gonna kill my time Lord won't you save me Or leave me alone Cause when it's good, it's so, so good When it's gone, it's gone Oh- gone I hang your picture right above my mind Don't do anything you can't deny I could never be your pawn Oh- cause when it's good, it's so, so good When it's gone, it's gone Some drink to remember Some to forget Some for satisfaction Some to regret I hope a brighter day to you I've shown Oh- cause when it's good, it's so, so good And when it's gone, it's gone When it's gone, it's gone When it's gone, it's gone When it's gone, Oh- it's gone
