than normal, it should be fingered like this x-x-x-14-15-14 and x-x-x-14-15-15.
You said [G]the world was magic
I was wide[Em]-eyed and laughing
[C] We were dancing up[D] to the [Dsus2]bright side
For[G]get about your ego
For[Em]get about your pride
[C] And you will never have to [D]compromise
Chorus:
And you were only [G]joking
[Em] You were only jo[C]king brother [D]
Verse:
We talked about our mothers
Kissed the wounds of our fathers
I could have been your sister
I would have been your brother
You kissed me like I was a soldier
Headed for a war
I dying man but I don't know what for
Chorus:
And you were only joking
You were only joking brother
You were only joking
(Wide-eyed and laughing)
You were only joking brother
(Dancing up to the bright side)
Guitar Solo:
G Em C D (See end for 2nd guitar part)
Verse:
G-------------------------Em------------
Gravel and glass on the bottom of my feet
----C-----------------------D-----------
I bruised my heels on the swollen street
----------G----------
We were girls in bars
---Em-----------
Boys on the town
[C]Bumping like a pinball off a [D]careless crowd
Verse:
You said good friends are hard to come by
I laughed and bought you a beer
It's too corny to cry
Well sentiment given
sentiment lost
You shake it off with a smirk and a toss
Outro/Chorus:
And you were only j[G]oking
[Em] You were only j[C]oking brother [D]
You were only j[G]oking
[Em] You were only j[C]oking brother [D]
And you were only j[G]oking
(Gravel and glass on the bottom of my feet)
[Em] You were only j[C]oking brother [D]
(I bruised my heels on the swollen street)
You [G]kissed me like a soldier [Em]heading for a war
(Joking)
I'm a d[C]ying man [D]
(You were only joking)
And you were only j[G]oking
(Don't know what for)
(Dying man)
[Em] You were only j[C]oking brother [D]
(Don't know what for)
[D]And you were only
[D]And you were only
G Em C D (End on G)
And you were only joking
(If you want to go on to the sha-la part, just keep playing G Em C D but eventually end on G unless you are Jesus and you can fade yourself out)

Here is a better way of looking at the high part played by guitar 2:
E---14--14-14h15--15--15-15-15h14--14--- B---15--15--15-----15--15--15--15-----15--- G---14--14--14-----14--14--14--14-----14--- x4 D------------------------------------------ G------------------------------------------ D------------------------------------------ E----15--14-14---12-108----8------0----- B----15--15--15----------------------0----- G------------------------------------------ D------------------------------------------ G------------------------------------------ D------------------------------------------
Dont try this unless you have a LOT of patience
It might seem too complicated, but I am absolutely positive this is right.
