Smoke another cigarrete

A smile rolls back the tears

This contradiction seems to be
Am7 D/F#
The story of my life

Those long lost golden days
F G C
I close my eyes and slowly drift away

Mistakes I've made

There's nothing left to lose
Riff 2:

I cant see answers tell me

Why am I so blind?

A tired man, I'll make the best

Of another lonley day

Now I know that I can stop the rain

Close my eyes dream my life away.

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official MOTLEY CRUE tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
