(INTRO)
VERSE 1
Gsus2 Asus2
I shuffle 'round the Earth like a ping pong.
Gsus2 Asus2
To find something just to hang my hat on
Gsus2 Asus2 F#m E
And somewhere just to let my pants get dry.
Gsus2 Asus2
Heard a trucker on a pay phone gas mall
Gsus2 Asus2
sort his deal out with a twenty five cent call
Gsus2 Asus2 F#m E
Shooting through before his see-through coffee went cold
CHORUS
Em A
And it sure did seem a good deal to me
Em A
But my head's too soaked in Brilliantine
Em A D (INTRO)
So just take me out, alright!
VERSE
Gsus2 Asus2
I've brushed over stations and channels
Gsus2 Asus2
and combed the town in corduroy and flannel
Gsus2 Asus2 F#m
Only know who you are when you move and who you're with when you're alone.
E
That's all I know
CHORUS
Em A
And it sure did seem a good deal to me,
Em A
But my head's too soaked in Brilliantine
Em A D
So just take me out, alright!
Em A
And top of the morn and slip of the day
Em A
Just don't sleep good since I been away.
Em A D
So here's to you, alright!
D G
I think I've figured out a way to get by
C B Asus2
I'll leave your brain out sitting on a shelf.
D G
I think I figured out a cracking good way to get by
C B Asus2 D
So kick me out, I'm going west, bye bye

Walk stupid like an expectant dad

waiting for your hand like I'm waiting for skylab

So kick me out, I'm going west, alright
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 YOU AM I 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.
