All by Design  Big Wreck

Okay, so I know Big Wreck plays in a really weird tuning, but I made this simplified
version for anyone that wants to play it with ease. It's a half-step up from the
original song. However, if you want to play it with the original tuning, the fretting
of the special notes (see next) remains the same.
In this chord diagram I have placed footnote numbers (1) and (2). See the bottom
or details.
INTRO: (1)
So we were o[(1)]n our way home
On the right bus
I just want to ask the driver
If it's not too much fuss
To [G]drop me at the old lady's
And pick me up tomorrow
If you could[(1)], If you could
It's a[A]ll by design
To k[Bm]eep [D]me from [G]losing my [D]mind
Well I was o[D]n my way there
And it was just around the corner
I caught a funny stare
And started a fight with the owner
Well it's the [G]whole nine yards
And I fold all my cards in your f[D]ace,[(2)] oh[(2)]
'Cause I l[G]ove what is real
And I loved you my dear
Before you were replaced[D] [(2)]
Oh, you were replaced
And it's a[A]ll by design
To k[Bm]eep [D]me from l[G]osing my m[D]ind
So I s[D]aw you over there
And acted like I don't care
'Cause I've never seen something that made me stare
(SOLO- Sorry, I couldn't tab this if I tried, I'm not that good!)
Yeah, so then we r[G]un through your backyards
And throw all my best cards in your f[D]ace[(2)]
Yeah in your face
Because I l[G]ove what is real
And I loved you my dear before I was replaced
I was replaced[D] [(2)]
And it's a[A]ll by design
To k[Bm]eep m[D]e from l[G]osing my mind[D] [(2)]
It's a[A]ll by design
To k[Bm]eep [D]us from l[G]osing our [D]minds
We were [D]on our way home
And we were on the right bus
I just want to tell the driver
Don't bother 'cause it's a bust
THE END!
Footnotes:
(1)- This is a chord called (in full) "A add9 no5 ||R23" and I didn't think I could fit
all this in the space I had. It is played like this:
 
 e|--------7
 B|-------6-
 G|-0-------
 D|--------7
 A|-0-------
 E|X--------

(2) This is a sliding thing that just sounds cool, and I don't think the song sounds
quite complete without it. So here it is. It's not hard to tell where it is exactly in the song.
 
 e|-----------------|-----------------|
 B|-----------------|-----------------|
 G|-11-11-6-6-6/7-7-|-11-11-6-6-6/7-7-|
 D|-----------------|-11-11-6-6-6/7-7-|
 A|-----------------|-----------------|
 E|-----------------|-----------------|
