Slide Riff
Forget about green bottles
you can lend me some money if you want
and all of those fast-paced drinking friends of yours
are all sitting around trying to remember the good times
theyâve forgotten
cigarette smoke like a weather front
ashtrays and guitars - misunderstood
and I feel like playing pool below the tree line
let s get out a map pretend that we could
to Riff X2
reckless - afternoons with chainsaw fiddle players
watch your step buddy that s my sister you re talking to and riding the late night
subway cattle cars crashing on the kitchen table with people eating breakfast around you
and drawn the last straw to the sunrise gunfight
working class neighbors waking up to you and coughing up the wrong tree hey ya it ll be
alright and if you ever get up before ten
there ain t nothing you can do
Chorus:
but skydive home
and leave all of the answers to your intelligent friends
and you re always one step back from
being one step over the edge and
to Riff X2
now it s way too late to be out and the band sucks
they re rocking but I m tired of âtwist and shoutâ
the winds in the trees and the smokes on the water and knocking over all of those chairs
ain t no way to impress her
and crooked teeth darling with dirty finger nails
outlaws and gunslingers boozed from all those bar rails
and let s turn out the lights son
give me another slow song
crashing on the corner while the cops telling you to move along
Chorus X2
Outro solo over G and D Riff
Notes:
This is the way I play these riffs. They are similar to the band but not exactly the same.
First verse is arpeggiated.
