#Mansion in the Slums
#(N. Finn)
#
#NOTE:
#
#-- The main guitar riff in this song focuses mainly on the top four strings
#on your guitar (3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th). focus on just playing those strings
#most of the way through, and minimize the use of the two highest strings.

#INTRO:
# Am G D/F# F
#I'd much rather have a caravan in the hills
[Am]than a [G]mansion in the[F] slums [Am] [G] [D/F#] [F] [Am] [G] [F]
Am G D/F# F
I'd much rather have a caravan in the hills
[Am]than a [G]mansion in the[F] slums
the [Am]taste of suc[G]cess only [D/F#]lasts you
half an [F]hour or less [Am]
but it [G]loves you when it [F]comes
and you [F]laugh at yourself
while you're [G]bleeding to death [Am]
I'd much rather have a trampoline in my front room
than an isolation tank
I wish I was a million miles away
from the manager's door
there is trouble at the bank
you [F]laugh at yourself
as you go [G]deep into debt
[G]laugh at yourself
while he's [G]breathing down your neck [Am]
[Em]who can stop me
with money in my pocket
sometimes I get it free
the best of both [C]worlds
the best of both [Em]worlds [Am] [Bbm] [Bm] [C] [D]
(Instr. break uses chords from the verse)
[F]I'd much rather have a caravan in the hills
I'd much rather have a [Am]mansio[G]n ..[D/F#]. in the [F]hills
[Am]than a [G]mansion in the [F]slums
yeah I'd [Am]much rather...
[G]what I mean is, [D/F#]would you mind if [F]I had it all [Am]
I'll [G]take it when it [F]comes
and you [F]laugh at yourself
while you're [G]bleeding to death
and [F]somebody else is always
[G]breathing down your neck
[F]laugh at yourself
while he's [G]hanging over your head
G F# F C (See tab below for
G F# F exact guitar part)
C B A# (Repeat)
[G]best [F#]of [F]both [C]worlds (it'll soon be over)

[G]best [F#]of [F]both [C]worlds (over)
