Author/Artist: Barenaked Ladies Title: Go Home Album: Maroon Transcribed by: Brian Beglin Email: jayhawk_182@hotmail.com Here is one of the best songs off of Maroon. It's really fun to play, too; very up-tempo. This is also my first tab, so I would greatly appreciate some feedback. Thanks! ***CAPO 2nd FRET*** Chords used: G Cadd9 Am Asus2 D Dsus2 Dsus G/F# Em Em7 Bm F Cm D/F# -3--3------0--0-----2--0-----3----3----0---3----2---1--3---2----------------------- -3--3------1--0-----3--3-----3----3----0---3----3---1--4---3----------------------- -0--0------2--2-----2--2-----2----2----0---0----4---2--5---2----------------------- -0--2------2--2-----0--0-----0----0----2---2----4---3--5---0----------------------- -2--3------0--0-----x--x-----x----0----2---2----2---3--3---x----------------------- -3--x------x--x-----x--x-----x----2----0---0----x---1--x---2----------------------- **These are all basically the same riff and it's ok to play each one the same way.

CHORUS 1: Riff 3 There's nothing better than affairs of the heart G G/F# Em To make you feel so good then tear you appart Riff 3 G Cadd9 G Cadd9 Make up your mind and stick it out or start again. VERSE 3: G Cadd9 You can't imagine what an effort it takes G Cadd9 When you make a mistake G Cadd9 G Cadd9 And you know in the wake that a heart's gonna break Riff 1 If you need her, you should be there VERSE 4: G Cadd9 If you're flummoxed and flushed G Cadd9 And your heartbeat is rushed G Cadd9 G Cadd9 Then get out of the slush, tell your dog team to mush Riff 2 If you need her, you should be there, G Cadd9 G Go Home. CHORUS 2: Riff 3 If you think of her as Joan of Arc G G/F# Em Em7 She's burning for you, get your car out of park Riff 3 If you think of her as Catherine the Great G G/F# Em Em7 Then you should be the horse to help her meet her fate Riff 4 If you need her, you should be there, G Cadd9 G Bm Go Home. BRIDGE: Em D G Cadd9 G Bm You can't believe it, but it's true Em D G Cadd9 G Bm She's given everything to you Em F Am Now take a moment to be sure Cm G Cadd9 G Cadd9 Before you give it all to her. VERSE 5: G Cadd9 Well now you're thinking that it's over at last, G Cadd9 All your woes in the past G Cadd9 G Cadd9 But you've got to be fast; put your foot on the gas Riff 1 If you need her, you should be there VERSE 6: G Cadd9 So now you're out from under the gun, G Cadd9 And it's over and done G Cadd9 G Cadd9 I won't spoil all the fun but if you ever wonder Riff 2 She'll be there if you need her G Cadd9 G Go Home. CHORUS 3: Riff 3 If you're lucky to be one of the few G G/F# Em Em7 To find somebody who can tolerate you Riff 3 Then I shouldn't have to tell you again G G/F# Em Em7 Just pack your bags and get yourself on a plane Riff 4 If you need her, you should be there, G G/F# Em Em7 Go Home........C'mon man, Riff 2 If you need her, you should be there, G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G D/F# G Go Hoooooooome...
