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

Standard Tuning, no capo

Chords Used:

Bmin :224462

Bmsus:224460

D :x00232

A :x02220

F# :244322

Emin :022001

This technique is sorta weird, but once you get it down

it'll sound pretty darn good. After the Regular Bmin,

you kinda of lift up the back of your hand to make the open

string for the high e string.

Bmin/Bminsus Riff (also opening riff)

e|---2---0------2---0-----------------
b|-------3----------3-----------------
g|-----4----------4-------------------
d|------------------------------------
a|-2--------0h2-----------------------
E|------------------------------------

D/Dsus Riff A/Asus Riff F#/F#sus Riff

e|---2---0-  e|---0----0-  e|---2---0-

g|-----2---  g|-----2----  g|-----3---
d|-0-------  d|----------  d|---------

Verses:

--You'll use the Bm/Bmsus riff all the way from "Daddy was a

soldier..." all the way to "peace and all the great things that

we take advantage of..." part.

--For "once I fed the homeless..." to "the look upon their faces as

I treated them with respect..." part, the chord procession will be:

D/Dsus A/Asus

Bm/Bmsus F#/F#sus

D/Dsus A/Asus

Bm/Bmsus F#/F#sus

--After this, you'll go right into the chorus. Do yourself a favor

and play along with the cd. it'll be so much easier.

Okay. Now that you have the riffs, you just plug them in

to the right places in the song. If you listen to the cd

while you play it'll be alot easier. However, when you get

into the chorus it gets a little trickier.

Chorus:

e|-----2-0-----------2-0---------3---0h2---------2---0-
b|---------3---3---------3---3-----0-----3-------------
g|---4-------4-----2-------2---------------2-------3---
d|---------------0-------------2-------------0---------
a|-2---------------------------------------------------
E|---------------------------------------------2-------      x2

--Now for the middle 8 part, it's a little different and it's

strummed. The chords are as follows:

short intro

Emin Bmin

what do you exspect from me

Emin Bmin

What Am I not giving you

Emin Bmin

What could I do for you to make

Bmin F#

me okay in your eyes...

--I dont' know if you want the little guitar fill in the intro of

the middle 8, so i'll put it anyways.

e|-3-2-2-0---------------3-2-2-0------------
b|---------3------3-3------------3----------
g|-----------2h4------4----------------2-2-4
d|---------------------------------2h4------
a|------------------------------------------
E|------------------------------------------

and towards the end of the middle 8, it sorta goes like this.

e|-3-2-2-0--------0-2-3-2-------------------
b|---------3-0--3---------------------------
g|------------------------------------------
d|------------------------------------------
a|------------------------------------------
E|------------------------------------------
