WE'RE THE SAME (Version 2)

From: presente@mckinley.bu.edu (Henry Presente)

G - 320003, 355xxx

C - 032010, x355xx

D - 000232, x577xx (only use the power chords if you're gonna use

Em- 022000, 022xxx distortion + make the whole song sound harder)

INTRO: G C D Em

G C D

meanwhile, the lead guitar starts off what sounds like picking the G

power chord, a few octaves up, then the C power chord octaves up,

but then it loses that pattern and just starts going up and down hthe

appropriate scales; you should make up your own intro to this song

VERSE:

G C D Em

  e--------------------------------------------------------|
  B---------------0-1--------------3-------------3-3-1-0---| (you can choose
  G-0---------0-2----------------------------------------2-|  either octave)
  D--------------------------------------------------------|
  A-------------0-2-3--------------5-------------5-5-3-2-0-|
  E-3---------3--------------------------------------------|

i don't have to speak, and you know what i'm thinking

G C D

  e-------------------------------------------------------|
  B---------------0-1--------------3----------------------|
  G-0---------0-2-----------------------------------------|
  D-------------------------------------------------------|
  A-------------0-2-3--------------5----------------------|
  E-3---------3-------------------------------------------|

you don't need to hear, what i say

i don't have to ask, cause you'll guess, what i'm seeking

you don't need to hide, what you know

1st HALF CHORUS:

Em C G D

baby, baby we're the same, when we fail in each other's eyes

(shine in each other's sky)

baby, baby we're the same, so you should not be surpriesed when i swear

to you

2nd HALF CHORUS:

Em G C ***

i never told you what to do

maybe it's me

(sometimes it's me)

maybe it's you

(sometimes it's you)

*** the chords sound alright, although in the 'maybe it's me' parts, you

have to fool around with the rhythms, but it sounds better if you play

a combination of the Em and G chords and/or then add-to/replace them

with the following:

     e--10--8--7--5--3--2--|
     B--0---0--0--0--0--0--|
     G---------------------|
     D---------------------|
     A---------------------|
     E---------------------|

if you have more than one guitar playing, you don't need to play the

B string at all

2nd VERSE:

i don't have to act, so you'll know, what i'm feeling

you don't need to see, to believe

CHORUS

SOLO:

pick your own picking rhythm (or listen to the record) - i didn't

include the number of times to hit each note, but the notes sound right

   e--------------------------------------------------------------|
   B--------------------------------------------------------------|
   G--------------------------------------------------------------|
   D---5--7--9--4--5--4--2--0--2--5--4--5--4s-0-------------------|
   A---------------------------------------------3--2-----0--2--5-|
   E---------------------------------------------------3----------|
