This is my first attempt at a proper TAB...here goes.
Notice that the chords are amazingly similar to those in 'Warm Fuzzy Feeling'
Suggested voicings:
A B D E5* F F#m e-0--2--2--x--1--2-| B-2--4--3--x--1--2-| G-2--4--2--x--2--2-| D-2--4--4--2--3--4-| A-0--2--5--2--3--4-| E-0--2--2--0--1--2-|
*For E5, it's basically just hitting the E string with down strokes, but you can add more
[INTRO]
--in the intro and chorus chords, there's a small theme that goes like this:
e-----------------------------------------------|
B---2---2---3-2-0-2-0---------------------------|
G---------------------2-------------------------|
D-----------------------------------------------|
A-----------------------------------------------|
E-----------------------------------------------|
--this might be played on a different guitar, but if you're playing solo,
-- try to play this with the chords in the chorus. Not too hard with the A chord, but
in F#m[VERSE 1]
A
Once I had it all planned out
B
My dirty fingers moved about
D E A E5
To make a mess of everything around me
A
I don't claim to know my way

I still run in circles every day

Running around half blind
F E
Life can be unkind
[CHORUS 1]
A
But it's better than it was

It's better than it was
D E
I complain very little because
A E5
It's better than it was
[VERSE 2]
A
I get to remembering
B
We had alot more money then
D E A E5
To make a mess of everything around us
A
Now the money comes and goes a bit
B
Faster than my confidence grows

Everybody knows
F E
There ain't nothing new about money woes

Wished it to before

It was bad a while ago

Better than this I know
