Standard (EADGBE)

 Chords used: , , , , , , , and

The main verse riff is Em / G twice, then Em / Am7 / C / D

 (the alternates with ).

Listen to the record for the timing.

Maybe just a good night's sleep

Would've changed your troubled mind

From that rather permanent decision

So tragic - so unkind

Now pain is what you've given

And sleep is what you'll get

So far away from that sweet baby child

C (don't play D here)

Who hardly knew you yet...

Interlude

just strum the same pattern as for the verses

Now he'll grow up to be a fighter

Full of anger, full of shame

Just like all the other haunted children

Who wonder why they came -

And he'll be in and out of trouble

Until he stands or till he falls

But there will always be a shadow there

No matter how it goes...Damn it, Rose.

Bridge

Is this another cryptic message,

Or some kind of cosmic quiz?

If there's a lesson to be learnt from this,

Eb (Not sure, but I think it's directly back to Em)

I don't know what it is -

Interlude

same as the above)

You could've given us the finger

Much more constructively than that

Now I sit here with the MTV

And your bloated Burmese cat

We're being treated to the wisdom

Of some puffed-up little fart

Doing exactly what I used to:

Pretensions to anarchy and art -

He speaks the language of a warrior

He mounts his misinformed attack

He wears the clothes of a dissenter

But there's a logo on his back...

And it's a hollow rebellion,

Like rebellions mostly are

It's just another raging tempest

In a jar...

And the seasons keep on changing,

And the wind blows hot and cold -

Wish that you were here with us to watch this tide

As it ebbs and flows....

Damn it, Rose.

Coda

play Em / G repeatedly and fade out.

There you have it! If anyone can figure out the missing chord, please let me

know!
