this is from "Freewheel," released in 1995 by Candy-Ass Records.

Transcribed by me, Jennifer Starfish.

every time a line leads off with G, right before it there's a hammer

on/off on the low E, which means you play on low E: 0, 1, 0; and carry it

straight into...

G em

let me put it to you this way:

am C

you will be hit by a truck and you will fall from your bicycle

G em

and no-one will recall

am C

who you were, except your friends and your enemies

am em

and all the stuff you could've written

am em

'bout times when you were sick, or smitten

am em D G

will mean about as much as your corpse

G em

let me put it to you this way:

am C

I've been writing songs for almost 7 years now

G em

and I haven't said a single thing

am C

of lasting import. or social significance

am em

but I know from reading all your letters

am em

and midnight coffee double-headers

am em D G

that maybe you could do better than me

G em

let me put it to you this way:

am C

you will be hit by a bus, and you will die inside the ambulance

G em

and no-one will recall

am C

who you are (or I mean WERE) except your friends and your relatives

am em

and all the stuff you could've written

am em

and all the words you could've hidden

am em D G

will mean about as much as your corpse
