Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
The dots are equal 1/8s.
Verse 1
Don't strum, just continue playing the intro.
Thorn in my side
You're always there
Just to remind me
That I still care
Verse 2
start strumming; if you're playing the song with 2 guitars,
one of them continues playing the intro.
Thorn in my side
You won't let me go
Right there beside me
To let me know
Bridge 1
Hit C and G chords twice; strum D chords.
I've been pushed around
Been knocked down
Lost a round or three
Life took a couple of
Things I loved when I was
Too blind to see
Chorus 1
One guitar strums the chords,
to see what the other one does,
have a look at the tab version;
() means hit the chord and then mute right away.
But I'll survive
I gave up on luck
But I'm still getting by
Yeah, I'm gonna be alright
You can test my faith
But you can't take my pride
Thorn in my side
Thorn in my side, Woh oh oh oh
Verse 3
Like verse 2, or play only the intro with light distortion.
Thorn in my side
You just won't quit
Once in a while when I crack a smile
You rub my face in it
Verse 4
Only strum the chords, stop playing the intro.
Thorn in my side
You won't let me run
God bless the fights
That I've lost and won
Chorus 2
Like chorus 1.
But I'll survive
I gave up on luck
But I'm still getting by
Yeah, I'm gonna be alright
You can test my faith
But you can't take my pride
Thorn in my side
Thorn in my side
Thorn in my side
Thorn in my side
Thorn in my side
Thorn in my side

Solo
The dots are equal 1/8s again.
Bridge 2
Like bridge 1.
I've been pushed around
Been knocked down
Lost a round or three
Life took a couple of
Things I loved when I was
Too blind to see
Chorus 3
Like chorus 1 and 2.
But I'll survive
I gave up on luck
But I'm still getting by
Yeah, I'm gonna be alright
You can test my faith
But you can't take my pride
Thorn in my side
Thorn in my side
Thorn in my side
Thorn in my side
Thorn in my side
Thorn in my side
