Check It Out - John Mellancamp (J.Mellancamp)
The Lonesome Jubilee
Intro: This is played by an accordin or violin, can't tell but the tab follows.
(The 023 notes are a quick hammer on.)
D----2--------------2------------2--------------2---2--------2--2---| A-023--3-2-0-----023--3-2-----023--3-2-0-----023--3-------023--3----| E------------3-------------3-------------3------------3-----------3-|
During the verses, C and G are open chords, then the F G combo are each barre
chords on the first and third frets, respectively.
C A million poets G Screamin' out their words C To a world full of people G Just livin' to be heard C Future generations G Ridin' on the highways that we built F G I hope they have better understanding C Check it out G Goin' to work on Monday C Check it out G Got yourself a family C Check it out G All utility bills have been paid F G You can't tell your best buddy that you love him C So check it out G Where does our time go C Check it out G Got a brand new house in escrow C Check it out G Sleepin' with your back to your loved one F G This is all that we've learned about happiness
Intro
C Check it out G Forgot to say hello to my neighbors C Check it out G Sometimes I question my own behavior C Check it out G Talkin' about the girls that we've seen on the sly F G Just to tell our souls that we're still the young lions C So check it out G Gettin' too drunk on Saturdays C Check it out G Playin football with the kids on Sundays C Check it out G Soarin' with eagles all week long F G And this is all that we've learned about living F G This is all that we've learned about living

C A million your poets G Screamin' out their words C Maybe someday G Those words will be heard C By future generations G Ridin' on the highways that we built F G Maybe they'll have a better understanding F Check it out G Hope they'll have a better understanding F Check it out G Maybe they'll have a better understanding F Check it out G Maybe they'll have a better understanding F Check it out G Hope they will have a better understanding
