Standard (EADGBE)
Woke up this morning and the streets were full of cars,
all bright and shiny like they'd just arrived from mars,
and as I stumbled through last night's drunken debris,
the paperboy screamed out the headlines in the street.
Verse
now guitar 2 starts with the rhythm,which is kinda folk-rock, but just listen to CD):
Another war and now the pound is looking weak,
and tell me have you read about the latest freak?
We're bingo numbers and our names are obsolete.
Why do I feel bitter, when I should be feelin' sweet?
Chorus
overdrive distortion, all powerchords now, and palm muted punk rhythm):
Hello , hello, turn your radio on,
is there anybody out there, help me sing my song,
la la la life is a strange thing:
E (strum full chord, then pick through E, A)
Just when you think you know how to use it, it's gone.
Verse 2
played the same way as intro/verse):
Woke up this morning and my head was in a dace,
a brave new world has dawned upon the human race,
where words are meaningless and everything's surreal,
gonna have to reach my friends to find out how I feel.
Verse 2
played like verse 1, start with the rhythm):
And if I taste the honey: Is it really sweet?
And do I eat it with my hands or with my feet?
Does anybody really listen when I speak?
Or will I have to say it all again next week?
-Repeat first part of chorus twice over E5-C#5-G#5-B5 chord progression, change the lyrics of the last
played 2nd time) to:
Is there anybody out there, tell me what went wrong.
-During the solo the rhythm guitar sticks with the Chorus chord progression and repeats the la la la life part.
-Repeat first part of chorus twice, then play la la - part, which is the OUTRO:
guitar 2 lets E - chord ring then guitar 1 fades out silently with A - chord and echo effect.
