[lyrics]
I say my hell is the closet, I'm stuck inside
Can't see the light
And my heaven is a nice house in the sky
Got central heating and I'm alright
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Can't see the light
Keep it locked up inside
Don't talk about it
T-t-talk about the weather
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Can't see the light
Open up my head and let me out, a-little baby
'Cause here we have been standing for a long, long time
Treading, trotting trails for a long, long time
I say my hell is the closet, I'm stuck inside
Can't see the light
And my heaven is a nice house in the sky
Got central heating and I'm alright
'Cause here we have been standing for a long, long time
Treading, trotting trails for a long, long time
Time, time, time, time, time, time
I find sometimes it's easy to be myself
Sometimes I find it's better to be somebody else
I see you, young and soft, oh, little baby
Little feet (little hands), a-little feet (little feet), a-little baby
One year of crying and the words creep up inside
Deep into your mind, yeah
So much to say, so much to say, so much to say, so much to say
So much to say, so much to say, so much to say, so much to say
'Cause here we have been standing for a long, long time
Treading, trotting trails for a long, long time
Time, time, time, time, time, time
I find sometimes it's easy to be myself
Sometimes I find it's better to be somebody else
So much to say, so much to say, so much to say, so much to say
So much to say, so much to say, so much to say, so much to say
So much to say, so much to say, so much to say, so much to say
So much to say, so much to say, so much to say, so much to say
Open up my head and let me out, little baby
[notes]
you can see that the second half of the main riff affects
the intro. simple enuff. the chorus part is pretty non-
specific. those are the chords i use, because they sound
close enuff. also, wherever there's any kind of "-" gap
between notes in the riffs there's some kind of rhythmic
or, again, non-specific note being played. sometimes it's
a strait mute, sometimes an odd pluck on an open string.
but if you follow what's written up there and let the
strings behave as they will between intentional picking,
it should sound pretty close. in other words, keep your
hand moving in the rhythm of the song and don't worry too
much about hitting notes that aren't written above. enjoy.
