Play this whole thing loosely 3 times
Riff A
if there's a word for you
[F]it doesn't mean anything[Eb]
[Bb]I've got some words for you[Eb]
[F]they don't offer anything[Eb]
[Bb]you cold called everybody[Eb]
[F]but you haven't sold a thing[Eb]
[Bb]a bad idea gone funny[Eb]
D C D Eb - NOT SURE ABOUT THESE CHORDS!!
a pinch felt in a dream
[G#]you thought of eve[C#]rything but som[Eb]e things can't be [C#]thought
[G#]you thought of eve[C#]rything but one[Eb] thing you forgot [C#]is you're [C]wrong
[Bb]and you better not be angry[Eb]
[F]and you better not be sad[Eb]
[Bb]you better just enjoy the luxur[Eb]y of sympathy
[F]if that's a luxury you have[Eb]
[Bb]and you know no private bad[Eb]
[F]you know that that's the meaning of [Eb]you're done
[Bb]in a world that's not so bad[Eb]
[F]in a world time was killing in the s[Eb]un
[Bb]in a world that's not so bad[Eb]
[D5]in a world time was killing in the sun[Eb5][D5]
[Eb5]in the sun[D5]
[Eb5]in the sun[D5]
[Gmin]you took all that moment
[Bb]and you left it in the sun
[Cmin]now it's gone because you left it in the sun[Eb]
[Gmin]was a brave idea
[Bb]didn't mean no harm
[Cmin]now it's burnt because you left it in the sun[Eb]
[Gmin]was a great mistake
[Bb]but how could you have known
[Cmin]the temperature, the distance of the sun[Eb]
Repeat Gmin, Bb, Cmin, Eb to fade
For the main rhythm guitar, use a tremolo ( volume ) effect
For the outro solo, slap on a load of distortion and wah,
then go nuts in Gmin pentatonic, lots of big bends and tremelo picking
