This song was played in the movie Reality Bites and it was the actor
Ethan Hawke who sang it. I really like this song. But in the movie
he just plays VERSE 1 and then the CHORUS/OUTRO. The first chorus,
which was not played in the movie, has totally different chords
than the CHORUS/OUTRO. Enjoy!
When you re playing the A chord, most of the time
you should play it like this:
* *
E|--------------------------------------------|
B|--2-2---2---3--3--3-2-3-2--2---2---3--3-2---|
G|--2-2---2---2--2--2-2-2-2--2---2---2--2-2---|
D|--2-2---2---4--4--4-2-4-2--2---2---4--4-2---|
A|--0-0---0---0--0--0-0-0-0--0---0---0--0-0---|
E|--------------------------------------------|
It s played like that in all the verses and the intro.
The only comfortable way to play this is to use your
index finger to play the A chord, then when you play the
A* you can just hammer on the D and B strings with your
middle and ring finger. Like Keith Richards does.
When you see something like D (sus2) it just means
play the D chord but throw in the Dsus2 a bit. A lot
of times he plays A and then throws in a Asus2 for
instance.
OK, then you should be ready to play the song.
INTRO: [play like tab above]
------
VERSE 1: [remember, play A chords like tab above]

Got a pothead mama, got a ehead dad

I don t feel good, but don t feel bad
Cause me, you see, I m nuthin
VERSE 2: [play like verse 1]

CHORUS:
-------
(sus2)
I ain t left, I ain t right, people say I m wrong

[play this A chord like in the verses]
Cause me, you see, I m nuthin

BRIDGE:
-------
(sus2)
Don t want no big TV, or no flashy garage

Cause me, you see, I m nuthin
I m nuthin
VERSE 3: [play like verses 1 & 2]

CHORUS/OUTRO:
-------------
I ain t left, I ain t right, people say I m wrong
