Chords

The little lick that leads into the chords is 4-4-4-2-0 on the G string. Since is starts with B, anywhere B is shown, play this lick. THe picking pattern shown for the intro is close to what they play for the verses. Throughout the song there is a late night, drunken vibe so play whatever comes out. In verses 6 and 9 the intensity starts to build and the rhythm guitar drowns out the lick so you can just play through the chords C G D G.

If you're walking home late at night

Dressed up and alone

Don't you get tired of being white

Where buffalo never roam?

'Cause you might be keeping secrets

That you ain't supposed to know

You might as well hate yourself

You find that you don't deserve it now

So get out of your kitchen

B                   G
And get out of your bed

Got to tell them what you've always wanted to tell them

D                                G             N.C.
'Cuz in the morning you might be dead
[Verse 6]
B                 C
So don't call the doctor

C              G
'Cause I'll be okay

G                       D
It's just a passing sad daydream

That led me astray...oh, oh

B                    C
And I ain't proud of nothing

But it's better that way

B                        D      Dsus4
'Cause it's too loud for talking

B                       G
And there ain't much to say
[Verse 8]
B                 C
So pick up your explosives

B                G
And pack up your gun

If you ain't chasing someone

You've got to be on the run
[Verse 9]
B                   C
And I'm so far from home now

                 G
Nothing there anyway

                         D
I ain't lookin to make a living, no, no

                       G
I just need a place to stay

G
