Backing Out John Wesley Harding
B A C K I N G O U T
by John Wesley Harding
from The Name Above The Title
[A] [E] [A] [E] [A] [E] [B7] [E]
[A] [E] [A] [E] [A] [E] [B7] [E]
[A] [E] Been living in the c[A]ity too[E] long n[A]ow
[E] Even my lungs have s[B7]tarted to[E] groan
[A] [E] Everybody is s[A]inging their[E] own son[A]g
[E] Sometimes I want[B7] to sing al[E]one
[E] [A] Never been a p[E]rima donna
I n[A]ever seem to want to be the o[E]ne to compl[B7]ain
[B7] [E] Enough's too much and n[A]ow I'm a goner
[C#m]Stop the madness sc[A]ene before it d[B7]rives me ins[E]ane
[A] Take me where the [E]sun won't shine on me
[A] Take me where my c[E]onscience won't [B7]go now
[E] Take me where the s[A]un won't shine - on me
[C#m]Don't tell me I'm b[A]acking out 'cause [B7]I don't want to k[E]now
[C#m]Don't tell me I'm b[A]acking out 'cause [B7]I don't want to k[E]now
[A] [E] [A] [E] [A] [E] [B7] [E]
[A] [E] [A] [E] [A] [E] [B7] [E]
[A] [E] Everyone around this t[A]own is so [E]angry now[A]
[E] Blaring horns and swearing; s[B7]haking[E] fists
[A] [E] If everybody in the w[A]orld was a h[E]it man[A]
[E] We'd wipe each other off each [B7]other's hit[E] lists
[E] [A] Who wants to stan[E]d and be counted
Or [A]anger every man until there's l[E]ines on your f[B7]ace, n[B7]ow
[E] I don't want to be the o[A]ne to start the shouting
I'm [C#m]part of this soc[A]iety and [B7]I know my p[E]lace
[A] Take me where the [E]sun won't shine on me
[A] Take me where my c[E]onscience won't [B7]go now
[E] Take me where the s[A]un won't shine - on me
[C#m]Don't tell me I'm b[A]acking out 'cause [B7]I don't want to k[E]now
[C#m]Don't tell me I'm b[A]acking out 'cause [B7]I don't want to k[E]now
[A] [E] Everything around this town is so boring
Well nothing changes; Nothing doesn't stay the same
[A] [E] Ten years when we had high ideals
We couldn't wait to play the protest game
[E] [A] But now we have our th[E]ing together
[E] [A] Our brand new leathers, three b[E]ank acc[B7(sus4)]ounts
[E] Who cares about the s[A]tarving millions
W[C#m]e're just h[A]appy that our ch[B7]eques don't b[E]ounce
[A] Take me where the [E]sun won't shine on me
[A] Take me where my c[E]onscience won't [B7]go now
[E] Take me where the s[A]un won't shine - on me
[C#m]Don't tell me I'm b[A]acking out 'cause [B7]I don't want to k[E]now
[C#m]Don't tell me I'm b[A]acking out 'cause [B7]I don't want to .[E]..
No, [C#m]Don't tell me I'm b[A]acking out 'cause [B7]I don't want to k[E]now
[A] [E] [A] [E] [A] [E] [B7] [E]
[A] [E] [A] [E] [A] [E] [B7] [E]

Notes
~~~~~
1. I'm not too sure about the lyrics (thanks to Alan Pulliam for supplying
them, BTW). I had completely the wrong idea originally in a few places
and I've listened carefully and made one or two minor changes to them,
but I'm still unsure of a few bits:
Stop the madness scene before it drives me insane
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Or anger every man until there's lines on your face, now
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
^especially this bit^
Our brand new leathers, three bank accounts
^^^^^^^^
Here, Alan reckons it's probably `Lotus'
3. ***** I will be posting all Wes tabs/crds that I do in future to *****
***** the newsgroup rec.music.makers.guitar.tablature since some *****
***** hosts do not receive any of the `alt' groups. *****
4. The licks in this song are pretty easy, so I haven't included them in
the CRD.
