VERSE 3 - w/ RYTHYM FIG 2 (two times)

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

   home              yeah

*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:

        ()                             ()

|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!!
