Despite the insane drumming(Eric Slick?) at the back end of this song, I think you can rock this one out on the acoustic if you get the strumming down, especially the double time part. I tried to nail the chord changes on the lyrics but this editor kinda sucks. Maybe my first and last guitar tab! Feel free to contact me at [email protected]. Intro: Gmin - 4bars Gmin Bmaj I put on my clothes like a body guard C#m7 Emaj I put the dogs on patrol in my own back yard Gmin Bmaj I don't wanna fight but I'm constantly ready C#m7 Emaj And I don't rock the boat, but it's always unsteady Emaj There's an elephant in my head Bmaj And I tip toe around it C#m7 There are eggshells on the floor Emaj Therefore I never touch the ground Emaj It's like that old black hole, F#maj No matter how you try, F#maj You set out each day F#maj Never to arrive Gmin I got my eyes on the prize Bmaj But it looks just like a mystery C#m7 Emaj And it all goes by on the lonesome trail to victory Gmin Bmaj I'm drawing in the blinds, I got my own four walls C#m7 Emaj And the show really starts once the curtain falls Emaj Take this thorn from my side Bmaj Fix this chip on my shoulder C#m7 Time is racing with the clock Emaj And I ain't getting any older Emaj It's like that old black hole, F#maj No matter how you try, Emaj It's like that old black hole, F#maj No matter how you try, Emaj It's like that old black hole, F#maj No matter how you try, F#maj You set out each day F#maj Never to arrive Gmin("Whoo!") Bmaj I put on my finest thread Bmaj C#m7 And I wrap up my body tight C#m7 With the sun in my eyes Bmaj I step into the night C#m7 Emaj Like the mystery in the dark Oh, it's just another kind of light Bmaj I don't expect you to believe me C#m7 Bmaj But everything is al--right Bmaj I don't make rules for a living Bmaj C#m7 I don't do tricks for a dime C#m7 I was born on a good day, Bmaj Deaf, dumb and blind. C#m7 Emaj Who am I to tell the truth? I don't even know what it is. Bmaj C#m7 Bmaj I don't know how to say it but I know that I can show you. Bmaj C#m7 Bmaj I don't know how to say it but I know that I can show you. (now for the fun..double time) Bmaj I tie my boots up tight Bmaj And I head straight for bed C#m7 There's a pistol and a crystal C#m7 Underneath my pillow Bmaj There's a tender heart Bmaj Inside that ugly armadillo C#m7 "These are tears of joy," F#maj Cried the weeping willow Emaj There's a spirit in the air F#maj And there ain't no way around it Bmaj I was not prepared to lose it C#m7 On the moment that I found it Emaj It's like that old black hole, F#maj No matter how you try, Emaj It's like that old black hole, F#maj No matter how you try, Emaj It's like that old black hole, F#maj No matter how you try, F#maj You set out each day F#maj Never to arrive Hang onto that end chord:Bmaj
