Madder Rose--"I Almost Lost My Mind"

transcribed by Patrick Glass (pglass@comp.uark.edu)

from the wonderful album you probably don't own Panic On

These lyrics may be wrong, but you get the idea :)

Opening Riff (these are the notes to it, even though they use harmonics
on the record, this will be much easier for most of you

 
 G		   
 Em
-3------------------0---2---0----------|
-0---0-0------------0------------------|
-0-------0----------0------------------|		play twice
-0-0----------------2------------------|		then lyrics start

(during the chorus after each Em chord, hammer on the 2nd finger on the
high E string)


 G			 
 Em
If I just hang around outside


 G			   
 Em
I may just see you passing by


 G   			    
 Em
And spend another sleepless night


 G			         
 Em
Looking for the nerve to face you

    
 G                              
 Em
And I can only think of one thing


 G   				
 Em
I can only think of one thing

(these chords just pick them not one note at a time, whatever works for you)


 G             
 A     
 C        
 A                 
 C
It comes from way inside, to let you know that I

        
 G                        
 A
See you crying all the time, and you'll cry

        
 C                    
 C (hold)
See you crying all the time, I almost lost my mind


play the riff twice again


 G		         
 Em
If I could summon up the will


 G		          
 Em
To call you up and talk until


 G  				 
 Em
I'd get bedrezzled (??) from the chill


 G                		
 Em
It's always left me shaking

    
 G					
 Em
And I can only think of one thing


 G				
 Em
I can only think of one thing

   
 G	      
 A     
 C        
 A                 
 C
It comes from way inside, to let you know that I

        
 G                               
 A
See you crying all the time, and you'll cry

	
 C                    
 C (hold)
See you crying all the time, I almost lost my mind


then there's a solo, where I usually play the opening riff again, and the
G and Em chords or something. I'm too lazy to figure out the solo though,
since I just have an acoustic guitar and don't really like to play them :)

the song ends on Em
