 forgot my woman, lost my friends 
 things I'd done and where I'd been 
 sleep in sweat, the mirror's cold 
 see my face, it's growing old 
  
 scared to death, no reason why 
 doing whatever to get me by 
 think about the things I've said 
 read the page it's cold and dead 
  
 and take me home 
 yeah, take me home 
 take me home 
 take me home, yeah     take me

 *Play Main Melody 2 times for intro (no lyrics) 
 *Then play Main Melody with Lyrics: 
  
 Hey, I ain't never coming home 
 Hey, I'll just wander my own road 
 Hey, I can't meet you here tomorrow 
 Say goodbye don't follow 
  
  
 *Play Fill I and Ending I with lyric: 
 Misery so hollow 
  
  
 *Again play Main Melody 2 times no lyrics and then w/lyrics: 
  
 Hey you, you're livin' life full throttle 
 Hey you, pass me down that bottle, yeah 
 Hey you, you can't shake me round now 
 I get so lost and I don't know how 
  
 *Play Fill I, but replace Ending I with a D chord:   -2- 
                                                      -3- 
 (with the lyric:)                                    -2- 
  And it hurts to care, I'm going down                --- 
                                                      --- 
                                                      --- 
  
 *There's a short pause and then the song alternates between an A chord and  
  D chord till the final outro.  You'll have to listen to the song for the 
 rhythm--sorry!!  There are hammer-ons for both chords as follows: 
  
         (A)                             (D) 
 |--0---------------|            |--0>2-------------| 
 |--0>2-------------|            |--3---------------| 
 |--2---------------|            |--2---------------| 
 |--2---------------|            |--0---------------| 
 |--0---------------|            |--0---------------| 
 |--0---------------|            |--0---------------| 
   
 *The lyrics in this section are as follows: 
 Forgot my woman, lost my friends 
 Things I'd done and where I've been 
 Sleep in sweat the mirrors cold 
 See my face it's growin' old 
 Scared to death no reason why 
 Do whatever to get me by 
 Think about the thing I said 
 Read the page it's cold and dead 
  
 Take me home (5 times then the outro:) 
  
 *The outro is simply the Main Melody played ONCE ONLY and then 
  play Fill I with the D chord ending to the lyric: 
 Say goodbye don't follow 
  
  
 Thats my best guess......This is a really cool tune. 
 Comments??  Enjoy!!
