This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Bass line comes in

hesitate outside the times

oh, call me or drop me a line,

First two stanza's from bassline

bmin G

say you've been with me

Bmin G

say you've been with me

[Back to full Bassline)

B5 G#5

old world underground, i never knew you

G5 D5 F#5 D5

but i've seen your face everywhere there was a farm, before we tore the small town down

(To Outro:)

B5 - G#5 - G5 - D5 F#5-|

B5 - G#5 - G5 - D5 F#5-|

Veriosn 2

Here are the chords used:

*** I added stuff in brackets and moved it 'round a bit

B G# D D F# G G Bmin Bmin F#maj *** Emaj Emin

e|-(0)(4)-----0-(0)--3--3---2----7------2----| ---0----0---|
B|-(0)(4)-----3-(0)--3--3---3----7------2----| ---0----0---|
G|--4-(4)--7--2-(3)--0--4---4----7------3----| ---1----0---|
D|--4--6---7--0--4---0--5---4----9------4----| ---2----2---|
A|--2--6---5--0--4---2--5---2----9------4----| ---2----2---|
E|-----4--(5)----2---3--3---x----7------2----| ---0----0---|

*** Stuff in brackets is optional I guess. During the intro I strum

the lower (deeper) notes 3 times, then strum all of them on the 4th

strum. I love the sound of the F# with the high open notes. heh!

I don't think this is totally accurate, (I think he players the

chords higher up on the neck) but it's good enough for me :)

INTRO (guitar and vocals start)

B Emaj

old world underground, where are you now?

Emin D F#maj

subtract my age from the mileage on my speeding heart, credit cards,

B G#

accelerate, accumulate, looked for you downtown

Emin G

wound up in a movie with no story

D F#maj

now it's late, and you are nowhere to be found

*** He's got this part right for the most part I think.

Might be a note different or something, but I usually just

strum full chords here anyways. It's much easier to sing

along with for me. But that's me. I'm going to split them up

into sections (parts), add a section he missed, and input

easier notes to hit if you don't like stretching your fingers

(like me). You can hit these notes instead of the ones

below them. These notes will be in brackets of course.
