Chords

I'll just write the chord names/notes as they'd look without a capo (a couple of the names are probably wrong so focus on the shapes themselves): G6 (3-2-0-0-0-0) and/or (3-5-0-0-0-0) - this way you can slide from (3-5-0-0-0-0) to (1-3-0-0-0-0) G13/F (1-3-0-0-0-0) and/or (1-5-0-0-0-0) Em (0-2-2-0-0-0) D7 (x-x-0-2-1-2) Cmaj (x-3-2-0-1-0) Cmaj9/B (x-2-0-0-1-0) Am7 (x-0-2-0-1-0) G (3-2-0-0-0-3) * = hit the 3rd fret on the high E string with the usual chord (One more note: Mac's tape recording process and pitch shifting sometimes does funny things to the tuning, so your guitar isn't going to sound exactly the same unless you use varispeed or tune up/down slightly or something.) [Intro] G6 G13/F Em D7 G6* G13/F* Em D7 [Verse 1]
G6          G13/F
Exercise to stay alive

Em               D7
Another year has gone and passed you by
G6 G13/F Em D7
G6          G13/F
Waking up to coffee cup

Em              D7
Stretch it off, rip it up
G6 G13/F Em D7 [Verse 2]
G6               G13/F
When the old man gets to see it

Em
He'll be whistling

D7
All his worries away
G6* G13/F Em D7
G6              G13/F
And I know just how you see them

Em
Keep believin'

D7
That you'll find your foot someday
G6* G13/F Em D7 [Chorus 1]
G6             Cmaj  Cmaj9/B  Am7   D7
But you won't, will  you      boy

G6               Cmaj  Cmaj9/B  Am7   D7
But no you won't will  you      boy

G6                      Cmaj  Cmaj9/B  Am7   D7
It's not what you want, is    it       boy
It's not what you want G6 Cmaj Cmaj9/B Am7 D7 [Verse 3]
G6       G13/F
Exercise another way

Em                 D7
To live your life, some other day ahead
G6 G13/F Em D7
G6          G13/F
Sleepin' in the day begins

Em            D7
You decide to rise up from your bed
G6 G13/F Em D7 [Verse 4]
G6               G13/F
When the old man gets to see it

Em                      D7
Understand that all his dreamin' days are gone
G6* G13/F Em D7
G6                  G13/F
And I hope now that you'll feel it

Em                      D7
Your belief in all this nonsense is done
G6 G13/F Em D7 [Chorus 2]
G6            Cmaj  Cmaj9/B  Am7   D7
But it's not, is    it       boy

G6           Cmaj  Cmaj9/B  Am7   D7
No it's not, is    it       boy

G6                       Cmaj  Cmaj9/B  Am7   D7
So take what you've got, can't you      boy
Take what you've got [Outro] G6 Cmaj Cmaj9/B Am7 D7 G
