ANYWHERE IS BETTER THAN HERE (Mary Karlzen)
-------------------------------------------
[I find it hard to believe an acoustic guitarist would _want_ to play
B chords, but it doesn't sound like she uses a capo in this song.]
[Where I wrote "TAB," that means there's tablature for that part.]
[E] [E] [E]One, two, [E]three
[E][ins[E]trum[A]enta[A]l (T[E]AB)][E][A][A]
[E] I ride the l[E]ong dark highway[E], the sign s[E]ays keep to the rig[A]ht [A][TAB[A]][A]
[E] I ride the l[E]ong dark highway[E] in the c[E]ool black of the nig[A]ht [A][TAB[A]][A]
[B] I know th[B]ings have got to get [A]better when I get th[A]ere
B B A - Asus2 [hold]
'Cause anywhere is better than...
...[E]here; Anywh[B]ere is better than h[A]ere[B]
[E] And where I'm [B]going, boy, I[A] don't really [B]care
[F#m] 'Cause I've [F#m]been there and I[B]'ll be there ag[B]ain
But ton[E]ight, any[E]where is better than h[A]ere with y[B]ou in m[(E)]y sight
(..my[E] sight)[E] [in[A]stru[A]mental[E]; sa[E]me a[A]s in[A]tro (TAB)]
I'm riding fast and low, with his memory right behind
There's a new life waiting for me, and I'm a-gonna make it mine
And I don't care if the sun don't shine out there
'Cause anywhere is better than here
Anywhere is better than here
And where I'm going, boy, I don't really care
'Cause I've been there and I'll be there again
But tonight, anywhere is better than here with you in my
[G#m] And I've [G#m]never felt so [A]strong and al[A]ive
F#m F#m B [hold]
Than to pack up, leave you, and drive
[E][gui[E]tar [A]solo[A] (TAB)[E]][E][A][A]
[F#m][guit[F#m]ar sol[B]o (T[B]AB)][F#m][F#m][B][B]
I ride the long dark highway, dawn is coming, I see the light
And if I start all over, this time, this time I'll get it right
Don't ask me where I'm going when you don't really care
'Cause anywhere is better than here
Anywhere is better than here
And where I'm going, boy, I don't really care
'Cause I've been there and I'll be there again
But tonight, anywhere is better than here with you in my sight
Tonight [TAB]
Tonight [TAB]
