Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
It sounds best using the barr chords for most of the chords except in verse when going
A to normal E chord (i.e. fight to be someone) and also in the chorus going from A to E
I'm the one swinging).
E
Mike was right when he said I'd put up
A E A B
A fight to be someone, a fight to be me
E
But see now, I'm down
Under the pavement
A E A B
Of capital hills and lowercase people
C# A F# B
As time rolls by my dreams have become
G# C#
That which is attainable
B
Not what I'm looking for!
E B C# G G# A
I've got the company car
E G# A C
I'm the one swinging at two below par
E B
Yeah, I've become one with the ones
C# A
That I've never believed in
E G# A
But I've got the company car
E
I'm the king of things I've always despised
A E
I'm the gingerbread man
A B
who got eaten alive
E
I'm half-baked! I'm fake!
But see I've got hotels on
A E
Park Place and Boardwalk
A B
And two hundred bucks
C# A F# B
I pass go but, oh! Life's taken its toll
G# C# B
Have I won Monopoly to forfiet my soul?
E B C# G G# A
I've got the company car
E G# A C
I'm the one swinging at two below par
E B
Yeah, I've become one with the ones
C# A
That I've never believed in
E G# A
But I've got the company car
B C#
All the king's horses
Bb C
At the foot of the wall
A B
They're taking pictures of
G# Bb
The man who's lost all of his
A
Masks of pretension
E
He's got two faces left
A F#
His is the one that he hides
A
On the left behind that smile...
No guitar for 1st half of this verse:
Hiding tears and fear
That burns like an engine
It drives him away
From the ones that he loves
E
Mike was right:
"Hey Mike! We're one and the same;
A E
we're the faceless combatants
A B
in the lonliest game"
C# A F# B
Ah but say, I'll wave as I'm driving by
G# C#
With that smirk in my eye, yelling
B
"Hey! I'm something man, check me out!"
E B C# G G# A
I've got the company car
E G# A C
I'm the one swinging at two below par
E B
Yeah, I've become one with the ones
C# A
