This is an up-tempo song that I have transferred to acoustic. The Asus4 and A alternating chords need a
pedal to get the effect as on the record but if you play the note distinctly you can still get the overall
Come see me play and I'll show how exactly how it is done. Otherwise I hope the tab is helpful.

A--2-2---------0-0---------------(2)--|
E--0-0---------------------------(0)--|
For the verses just play each chord twice: EE E D D A A ffr each line.
I'm not worried it's a million miles away
Yeah I saw the news it happens every day
Some Cronkite look-alike numb from what he's reading
Wake me up wake me up it's one of us that's screaming
