Chord/Tab song: Opinion

by Greg Graffin, from the album American Lesion

TAB and Chord layout by Nasgul07

Standard tuning: E A D G B E

Riff 1 & 2 are actually played on keyboard and possibly banjo/e-banjo in the
original, along to the backing chords on guitar (see above RIFF 1 & 2), but it
still sounds good played on the guitar.

The [C]first thing [G]I re[D]member was the [C]friction [G]in the [D]room

And that [C]brown spi[G]net pi[D]ano that [Em]never played in [G]tun[D]e

The [C]cruel im[G]patient [D]tyrant, the frus[C]trated [G]malcon[D]tent,

The [C]need to [G]find the [D]pieces, and the [Em]absence of ce[D]ment


[C]No one ever [G]told me about the [C]right [G]way to [D]love

And [C]no one ever [G]showed me what we're [D]supposed to be made of

So [C]don't be too forth[G]right about what you [C]think that [G]I should [D]be

And I'll [C]willingly ac[G]cept your low o[D]pinion of [G]me

//RIFF 1//

The [C]last thing [G]I re[D]member was the [C]slamming [G]of the [D]door

And the [C]resonance of my [G]imper[D]fection broke the [Em]silence once [G]mor[D]e

The [C]selfish [G]angry [D]bastard who [C]doesn't [G]want to [D]hear

I [C]tried to [G]learn com[D]passion you [Em]turned the other [D]ear


[C]No one ever [G]told me about the [C]right [G]way to [D]love

And [C]no one ever [G]showed me what we're [D]supposed to be made of

So [C]don't be too forth[G]right about what you [C]think that [G]I should [D]be

And I'll [C]willingly ac[G]cept your low o[D]pinion of [G]me

The [C]worn out [G]broken [D]record who [C]doesn't [G]fit the [D]mold

The [C]righteous [G]inde[D]pendent, the [C]mood so [G]harsh and [D]cold


[C]Momma never [G]told me about the [C]right [G]way to [D]love

[C]And daddy never [G]showed me what we're [D]supposed to be made of


So [C]don't be too forth[G]right about what you [C]think that [G]I should [D]be

And I'll [C]willingly ac[G]cept your low o[D]pinion of [G]me
