Agreeing with me so far? Good! Then I'm sure you'll like this favorite, Caution. It's not a real tough one, but fun to play. Intro: E--------| B--------| G---12---| D---12---| A---10---| E--------| G Only chords used throughout song: E------------------| B------------------| G------5-------3---| D--3---5---5---3---| A--3---3---5---1---| E--1-------3-------| F C G Bb (Chorus): [F] [C] [G] Caution is a word that I can't understand. Riff: E-------------------| B-------------------| G--7-5-7-5----------| D-----------8-5-8-5-| [F] [C] Caution is a word that I can't understand. (Verse): [G] [F] [C] C A U T I O N, was a word I could not understand. [G] [F] [C] Walked the dog with a real short leash, turned around saw [G] the dog walk me. Stainless steel and painted glass give me [F] [C] [G] pulse like a hammer and a mind to match. No relief, no food, [F] [C] no sleep, when you're king for a day you're a whore for a week. (Riff:) E-----------------| B-----------------| G-7-5-7-5---------| D---------8-5-8-5-| Then repeat chorus, with this riff: E-----------------| B-----------------| G-------7-7-5-----| D-8-5-8-------8-5-| Next, play verse again, with the same riff as the last chorus. Play chorus again after that, with the original riff. Then, Bridge: [Bb][C][F] [C][Bb][F] I didn't get it then. I think I got it [Bb][C][F] [C] now. Caution my friend, don't step in the water [Bb] [F] 'till you know you can swim. Then repeat chorus, with palm muting after the G, and that's it! Let me know if there's a better way to play this song, or if you have any comments, questions, etc Luke
