Song: New Years With Carl Weathers
Artist: The Wonder Years
Album: The Upsides (2010)
Tuning: Standard (I prefer to play it a half-step down so as not to worry about that Eb in a weird spot, but
here is the tab in standard tuning.)
I think this is correct, the only part I have doubts about is the chorus and if the Eb is major or minor, so
if you have a correction feel free to let me know!
Intro: Db
Verse 1:
B F#
Two miles from the hotel, eight hundred from home
Abm
We're forced to call on all we know
Eb E
But all we know's a joke
B F#
The van just started shaking, coughing out black smoke
Abm Eb E
We're pulling off in a parking lot cause this might just explode
B (strum once)
Cause it's New Year's Eve and four degrees
Abm F#
We're stranded, hopeless
E B F#
I just want some sleep
B F#
Drew's too busy sexting with some girl he met last show
Abm Eb E
Tripping balls from the soft effects of a Nyquil overdose
B F#
Nobody's been asking how we're gonna get home
Eb E F#
Cause we all know
Abm F# E
We'll deal with it tomorrow
Eb E F#
Yeah, we know
Chorus:
B Abm
It's gonna be our year, boys
E
I'd speak up
Abm E Eb
But I'm waiting for the irony to fall asleep without me
B Abm
And we'll wait and see
E
With some luck and patching up
F# F E Eb E F#
I think I'll be home this week
Abm F# E Eb E F#
We'll deal with it our own way
F#
And we'll stay, and we'll wait,
B F#
And we'll wake in this awkward mess we made
Abm
A landscape forged from pizza crust
Eb E
And what's left of a case
B F#
We'll make friends in every state
Abm
Like the cops in the parking lot
Eb E
Or staff of Steak'N'Shake
Chorus:
B Abm
It's gonna be our year, boys
E
I'd speak up
Abm E Eb
But I'm waiting for the irony to fall asleep without me
B Abm
And we'll wait and see
E
With some luck and patching up
F# F E
I think I'll be home this week
F# E
But I'm too tired to speak
Eb E B F#
I'll say, "Hey man, I'll see you in Cleveland"
Eb E F#
"Hey man, I'll see you in Cleveland"
Eb E B F#
Someone go tell the universe we're not concerned
Eb E F#
We know that it's out to get us
But we'll never learn
Eb E B F# (strum each once and hold, except play F# as two notes)
So if you're thinking you just got the best of me
Eb (strum once)
Man, we don't go down that easy
Eb E F# Abm F# E Eb E F#
B Abm
It's gonna be our year, boys
E
I'd speak up
Abm E Eb
But I'm waiting for the irony to fall asleep without me
B Abm
And we'll wait and see
F# E
With some luck and patching up
F# F E
I think I'll be home this week
Outro: Eb E F#
