Chords

Hey, guys! I do not do this often, but this is NOT MY TAB. I found this online [since I myself am trying to learn this awesome song still], but this was too awesome to not post on a well-known website. The original author did not give an user name or any other contact information, so credit goes to him [it could've been Sonnie for all I know, haha]. Anyways, enjoy this chord sheet! :D However, Sonnie plays inverted chords in the song, so here they are [I posted these in]: C#m A Ab B E F#

Intro1: C#m A Ab C#m (3x, trumpet riff, 3x) Intro2: (traditional ska rhythm) C#m E B Ab C#m A Ab Verse:

C#m                 E
What could this be, too much MTV?

B                            Ab
Chalk another fad up for its fall into infamy.

C#m                        A
What's in a standard if it changes all the time?

Ab
You're still having trouble in defining your own kind.

C#m                E
Need I remind you, we all knew you before,

B                                      Ab
You threw rocks at the stage from your glass house on the floor.

C#m                        A
Now you think you're punk, just because it's in. 

Ab
You found a foul mouth and a couple safety pins.

Chorus:

E              B        F#                A        Ab
Got a peaceful feeling.   I don't want to fight no more.

E              B        F#                      A              Ab
Got a peaceful feeling.   I don't care if we're punk or SKA or hardcore.

E               B             
Enough for you, sad but true, 

F#                              A          Ab
you can call us names till your face turns blue.

E                              B         
Our assurance comes from God, it's nothing new, 

F#                            A          Ab
we'll never care 'cause we're never cool enough for you.

Intro2 Verse: That smug look on your face, your nose up in the air, your patches say you're open-minded but still you couldn't bear, some punk thrown in with ska. You said it wouldn't work. Well you can take your Vespa home 'cause ska made you a jerk. The purist turns a deaf ear. He's such an intellect, Does he think his censorship is gaining our respect? The raising of a fist, like the trigger of a gun. Stop and see we're all alike, and we can dance as one. Chorus

Bridge: (From here on out use power chords.)
A--4-4---4--------|       (1x)
E----------5-4---5|

A--4-4--4---------|       (15x)
E----------4---5--|

Chorus2:(w/distortion) B F# A E B F# A E

B              F#        A                E
Got a peaceful feeling.   I don't want to fight no more.

B              F#        A                      E
Got a peaceful feeling.   I don't care if we're punk or ska or hardcore.

Outro:(lalala) B F# A E (4x) End on B (not counting the crazy sliding insanity chords at the VERY end) Also, in case you are new to ska and are not sure how to skank [like I was before I got used to it], use a muted downstroke and played upstroke strum. -Romans 10:9-10;13 God bless!
