Chorus:
N.C. C

[F]I just slip away and [Fm]now I am g[C]one
[Em]Nothing is wrong[Am]
[F]She turns me on
[Am]I just s[F]lip away and [Fm]now I am g[C]one
-Repeat half of intro, and opening solo guitar section for third verse, repeat full band
section for fourth verse.
Electronic noise in background of verse three and four (tabbed for guitar):
e|-------------| e|-------------| B|-------------| B|-------------| G|--------1h2--| moving to G|------13h14--| D|-------------| D|-------------| A|-------------| A|-------------| E|-------------| E|-------------|
-Repeat chorus.
Outro One (chords):
[A]He's on, he's on, he's on it
[C]He's on, he's on, he's on it x2
[F]He's on, he's on, he's on it
[G]He's on, he's on, he's [A#]on it
**Repeat this chord structure until the end if you're playing rhythm, if not:
Outro One (tab):
e|-------------------------------| B|--10---------------------------| G|-----9--7/9--------------------| x8 D|--------------10--9--7---------| A|------------------------5------| E|-------------------------------|
Outro Two (tab):
e|---------------------------------| B|--8/10---------------------------| G|-------7/9- 7/9------------------| repeat this until the end D|-------5/7--5/7----10--9--7------| (add flourish if needed) A|-------------------8---7--5---5--| E|------------------------------3--|
The song ends on A major, do whatever you'd like with that.
**If you wish you can continue to play Outro One until the end, but in my opinion once
Damon finishes singing it sounds a bit weak, so I added the extra strings to back up the
sound. It's really interchangeable.
