NOTE: this is my interpretation of the song and I do not say it is 100% exact.
It's just one way to play it. If you like it (or not) rate it and comment. If you
hate it, be so kind as to say way and not just say that it sucks, ok? :)
Capo on 4th to be in the tone of the song, or elsewhere to adapt your voice.
Chords: since I don't know the name of all the D/G/C/A/E variations, I'll just
number them my way, sorry to be so noobish. Corrections are welcome in the comments!
D variations:
D: 000232
D1: 004232
D2: 002032
D3: 000032
G variations:
G1: 320030
G2: 200030
G3: 000030
G4: 020030
G5: 002030
I think that's about it. As you can see, it's not a hard song to play, it's all in the
You'll need a second guitarist to play the little solos that I will not transcribe.
Intro: not easy to transcribe the rythm so listen to the song, roughly, the pattern goes
like:
down-down-up | up-down-up | up-down-up | up-down-up-down | up-down-up-down | up-down
So for the D part of the intro you go like this. The G part is basically the same:
-DDU UDU UDU for the first D
-UDUD for D1
-UDUD for D2
-UD for D3 then back to the first D
It's hard for me to play and count how many ups and downs, so it might not be exact.
I said, listen to the song and figure it out, it's really not hard! Here's the chord progression.
Repeat the D part twice:
D D1 D2 D3 D D1 D2 D3 * G2 G3 G4
|-2---2---2---2---2---2---2---2----0---0---0---0---|
|-3---3---3---3---3---3---3---3----3---3---3---3---|
|-2---2---0---0---2---2---0---0----0---0---0---0---|
|-0---4---2---0---0---4---2---0----0---0---0---0---|
|-0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0----2---0---0---2---|
|-0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0----3---2---0---0---|
*After you've repeated twice, don't play another D here, go strait from the D3 to
the G variations.

Basically: Basically you just play a G1 during the verse and add a D part in between
2 lines. For the chorus, play the G part and end on a G5
G1
You called me up this evening
Cause you wanted to know what’s going on
D part
G1
You give me ultimatums
Cause you don’t want to feel you are alone
D part
G part
And I tell you that some folks don’t evolve
They’re content with what they’ve got
G5
They just sit back and they watch TV
I talked about September.
Fought about your taste you were on mine
What did you mean anyhow
When you said I’m lost, but there’s still time
And I tell you that some folks don’t evolve
They’re content with what they’ve got
They just sit back and they watch TV
And I tell you that some folks don’t evolve
They’re content with what they’ve got
They just sit back and they watch TV
But that’s not me.
D G part D part
One day, you come around to see the other side of things
D G part D part
One day, you come around to see the other side of things
Yes you will.
G part D part
You’ll come around to see the other side of things
You’ll come around to see the other side of things.
