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!
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
