(8 bar piano solo)
Strum once per bar:
Em (779987)
Dsus4
D
C (032013)
(Use this position of E minor only in the intro. The C with the high G is important in the intro, but can be
used interchangeably with normal C in the rest of the song except where specified. Cmaj7 and Dsus4 can be
used as decoration to make the chord progression more interesting instead of the normal major chords as well.)
[Verse]
(Strum pattern is too exact - add extra strums where you want, but keep the sound empty - the space between
strums is important here)
C Hey brother D Happy returns Em It's been a while now C I bet you thought that I was dead C But I'm still here D Nothing's changed Em Nothing's changed C Hey brother D I'd love to tell you I've been busy Em But that would be a lie C Cause the truth is Cmaj7 The years just pass like trains D I wave but they don't slow down Em C Don't slow down
[Chorus}
||: C Cmaj9 Am G D Too doo doo doo, doo doo la da da D Dsus4 D [sus2] C la da da da da C Cmaj9 Am G D Too doo doo doo, doo doo la da da :|| (Play twice)
[Verse 2] (Put acoustic down, pick electric up, don't play)
C Hey brother D I see the freaks and dispossessed on day release Em C Avoiding the police C D I feel I'm falling once again Em But now there's no one left to catch me C Hey brother D I feel I'm living in parentheses Em And I've got trouble with the bills C Do the kids remember me? C Well, I've got gifts for them D And for you much sorrow Em But I'm feeling kind of drowsy now C So I'll finish this tomorrow
