| I want to believe in myself once again |
| So I dream of a man whose hopes never end |
| To kiss with a girl who's as lovely as you |
| I'd give you my heart, if you gave me the truth |
| | C5 | G5 |
| And | for every tear that is lost from an | eye |
| | E5 | A5 |
| I'd | dig me a well where no | man could destroy |
| | C5 | G5 |
| I | want to believe in a freedom that's | bold |
| | E5 |
| But | all I remember is the freedom of old |
| (with variation of fig. 1) |
| Well I lost me a wife, so I found me a plane |
| Flew all the way to California |
| This mess in my head is a mess getting out |
| Ya drink too much coffee, I drink too much stout |
| | C5 | G5 |
| But | after a while, when my mouth's not so | dry |
| | E5 | A5 |
| I'll | dance up a storm, sure life's looking fi | ne |
| | C5 | G5 |
| But as | darkness falls, I return to my | bed |
| | E5 |
| Don't | ask me more questions, don't f**k with my head |
| (with variation of fig. 1) |
| I've been down in this world, down and almost broken |
| Like thousands of people, left standing in their shoe |
| I've been down in this world, down and almost broken |
| As thousands they grieve, as the Black Friday rule |

| the beginning and a good chunk of it is just figure 1 played palm |
| muted. for better effect, mess around in the Am pentatonic scale, |
| with position at the 5th fret (7th without the capo). the solo |
| sounds good regardless of exactly what you play as long as you |
| stay in the Am pentatonic. i'm pretty sure that this riff is |
| reoccurring throughout, though |

| light PM........................ |
| The buildings they shake but my heart it beats still |
| Oh mother of Jesus, I feel pretty ill |
| I want to go home where my feet both feel safe |
| But there ain't no jobs in the old free state |
| | C5 | G5 |
| So | I must remain in my new adopted l | and |
| | E5 | A5 |
| I'm | doing the best, Hell I'm | doin' all I can |
| | C5 | G5 |
| So | next time you see me, don't ask for my | name |
| For I am the King and sure long may I reign |
| I've been down in this world, down and almost broken |
| Like thousands of people, left standing in their shoe |
| I've been down in this world, down and almost broken |
| As thousands they grieve, as the Black Friday rule |
| I've been down in this world, down and almost broken |

| acoustic guitar shadows most of the electric work here, |
| except in the solo. note that figure 1 isn't the EXACT |
| guitar used during the verses or chorus, but it's nearly |
| the exact same. use the same chords and progressions and |
| it'll sound right. the solo is fun and it's a perfect time |
| to pull out your own chops and improv. to get the solo the |
| same as from the cd, just stay on the 5th fret and follow the |
| same general progression. have fun |
