Tabbed By: Mike Standard Tuning I wanted to play this song acoustically so I came up with this to kind of mix the bass and guitar together and I think it sounds pretty decent. Works best if you have another guitar to play the little lead part during the chorus. Just as a heads-up, this is how I play the chords but you can do it any other way (this just sounds best to me): A C#m Abm B E Eb/B e|--0-------4---0---0---0------| B|--0---5---4---0---0---0------| G|--6---6---4---8---9---8------| D|--7---6---6---9---9---9------| A|--7---4---6---9---7---6------| E|--5-------4---7---0----------| A C#m You've been famous since your birth Abm And a silent one it was, B Till they told me it's a girl A And everybody gasped C#m I know how to raise you right Abm Teach you how to read B Do math, share toys spell names and alphabet A C#m Abm B And how to be polite A C#m You've been famous since your birth Abm And a silent one it was, B Till they told me it's a girl A And everybody said C#m You and your atlas know it all Abm Let the corners curl B Cause if you go by night E You'll hit the coast for sure ------------------------------------------ ...Verse goes straight into chorus on E ------------------------------------------ Chorus E Eb/B Abm It's a ruse, it's a laugh B Experts, they'd agree B Listen to the math E Eb/B Abm Australopithecine B Rekindle your heart B These hospital machines A C#m Abm B Are state of the art e-----7---------7---------7---------7-------| B-------9---------9---------9---------9-----| --> second guitar plays this through out the chorus G---9-----9---8-----8---9-----9---8-----8---| D-------------------------------------------| A-------------------------------------------| E-------------------------------------------| Then: e|-------------------------------------------| B|-------------------------------------------| G|--11111111-11-13-13--8-88------------------| x4 D|---x-x-x-x--x--x--x--x-xx------------------| A|---9-9-9-9--9/11-11-\6-66------------------| E|-------------------------------------------| A C#m I've put down my middle name Abm In the back of her book B And signed it just in case A Our walk was over love C#m Cause I've got one more up my sleeve Abm Bring it out tonight B Cause if I am the joke E Then you're the punchline ------------------ -Into Chorus ------------------ Then: A C#m Abm B x2 e|-------------------------------------------| B|-------------------------------------------| G|--11111111-11/13-13-\8-88------------------| x7 D|---x-x-x-x--x--x--x--x-xx------------------| A|---9-9-9-9--9/11-11-\6-66------------------| E|-------------------------------------------| and on the last time: | End on: (on the same beat as the B chord below) e|--------------------------------|------------| B|--------------------------------|------------| G|--16-16-16-16--16\14-14-14-1414-|-\13--------| D|---x--x--x--x---x--x--x--x--x-x-|---x--------| A|--14-14-14-14--14\12-12-12-1212-|-\11--------| E|--------------------------------|------------| End on: B But it's the art of the state That's gonna keep me awake E I need a second opinion Not a second to waste
