| The rhythm goes like this: 4 8 8 4 8 8 8 8 8 4 8 8 8 This is a little crude |
| but listen to the song to get the exact rhythm. There's a little more |
| swing to it than how I wrote it. The apostrophe represents a dotted note |
| (in this case, a dotted quarter note). |
| The first A is like this: 5-- the second A is: o-- |
| The Bmin is: 2-- the D is: 2-- |
| The progression is easy to play if you treat them all as bar chords. |
| Just leave your forefinger on the second fret over strings 1,2,3,and 4 |
| except for the second A where you have to slightly raise your finger so that |
| the E string is open. Slide down from the first A to the Bmin. |
| | A |
| | 25 years of my life and still |
| | Bmin |
| | Tryin' to to get up that great big hill of |
| | D | A |
| | Hope, for a destination. | |
| | A |
| | I realized quickly when I knew I should |
| | Bmin |
| | That the world was made up of this brotherhood of |
| | D | A |
| | Man, for whatever that means. | |
| And so I cry sometimes, when I'm lying in bed |
| just to get all out, what's in my head, then |
| I, I am feeling, a little peculiar. |
| And so I wake in the morning, and I step outside |
| And I take a deep breath, and I get real high, and |
| I, scream from the top of my lungs, "What's going on?" |
| And I say, "Hey yeah yeah hey, hey yeah yeah." |
| I said, "Hey, what's going on?" |
| And I say, "Hey yeah yeah hey, hey yeah yeah." |
| I said, "Hey, what's going on?" |
| | A |
| | And I try, oh my god, do I try |
| | Bmin | D | A |
| | I try all the | time, in this institution. | |
| | A |
| | And I pray, oh my god, do I pray |
| | Bmin | D | A |
| | I pray every single | day, for a revolution. | |
| | Cborus and last four lines of tbe cborus are repeated 2x more |
