Let's get one thing straight: Operation Ivy is the greatest band of all
time. Agreeing with me so far? Good! Then I'm sure you'll like this
favorite, Caution. It's not a real tough one, but fun to play.
Intro:
E-------- B-------- G---12--- D---12--- A---10--- E--------
[G]
Only chords used throughout song:
E------------------ B------------------ G------5-------3--- D--3---5---5---3--- A--3---3---5---1--- E--1-------3-------
(Ch[F]orus[C]):[G] [Bb]
[F] [C] [G]
Caution is a word that I can't understand.
Riff:
E------------------- B------------------- G--7-5-7-5---------- D-----------8-5-8-5-
[F] [C]
Caution is a word that I can't understand.
(Verse):
[G] [F] [C]
C A U T I O N, was a word I could not understand.
[G] [F] [C]
Walked the dog with a real short leash, turned around saw
[G]
the dog walk me. Stainless steel and painted glass give me
[F] [C] [G]
pulse like a hammer and a mind to match. No relief, no food,
[F] [C]
no sleep, when you're king for a day you're a whore for a
week. (Riff:) E----------------- B----------------- G-7-5-7-5--------- D---------8-5-8-5-
Then repeat chorus, with this riff:
E----------------- B----------------- G-------7-7-5----- D-8-5-8-------8-5-
Next, play verse again, with the same riff as the last chorus. Play
chorus again after that, with the original riff. Then,
Bridge:
[Bb] [C] [F] [C] [Bb] [F]
I didn't get it then. I think I got it
[Bb] [C] [F] [C]
now. Caution my friend, don't step in the water
[Bb] [F]
'till you know you can swim.
Then repeat chorus, with palm muting after the G, and that's it! Let me
know if there's a better way to play this song, or if you have any
comments, questions, etc
