Guitar 2

intro: play chords B5 and E5

verse:

Bm

I aim at the first one who'll dare to stand still

D

Oh Lord, you're tension is making me ill

Em

You've got no friends in your home, you'll got no family stone

F# F#

You can't go: Yeah Yeah Yeah, Yeah Yeah Yeah

(same chords again)

Everyone, in every town, on every boat, on every trip, the multi-talanted strip,

Will gather 'round you with coke and pain

The trees, ain't no doubt about

The seeds, I had no thought about

No, Yeah Yeah Yeah

Chorus:

G A

Don't know why I can't locate this feeling,

D D/C# Bm

Don't let them closer to this secret...

*intro riff

that I may love you

Verse:

Take 'em outa west, take 'em outa height, take 'em on a sweet ride

Those little angels are numbered nine

The colored TV once shined on desolation 1-5

They've got it! Yeah Yeah Yeah

Bust 'em in the light, bust 'em in the light, BUST 'EM IN THE DAYLIGHT

They ain't worthy being named as thieves

One of those shorties said hi up to the abbot who died

The rebound, Yeah Yeah Yeah

Chorus:

Don't know why I...
