Wouldn't it be good

i got it bad
you don't know how bad i got it
you got it easy
you don't know when you got it good
it's getting harder
just keeping life and soul together
I'm sick of fighting
even though i know i should
the cold is biting
through each and every nerve and fibre
my broken spirit is frozen to the core
don't wanna be here no more
wouldn't it be good to be in your shoes
even if it was for just one day
and wouldn't it be good if we could wish ourselves away
wouldn't it be good to be on your side
the grass is always greener over there
wouldn't it be good if we could live without a care
you must be joking
you don't know a thing about it
you've got no problem
I'd stay right there if it were you
i got it harder
you couldn't dream how hard i got it
stay out of my shoes
f you know what's good for you
the heat is stifling
burning me up from the inside
the sweat is coming through each and every pore
don't wanna be here no more
wouldn't it be good to be in your shoes
even if it was just for one day
and wouldn't it be good if we could wish ourselves away
wouldn't it be good to be on your side
the grass is always greener over there
and wouldn't it be good if we could live without a care

(as in verse one)
You must be joking
You don't know a thing about it
You've got no problem
I'd stay right there if I were you
I got it harder
You couldn't dream how hard I got it
Stay out of my shoes
If you know what's good for you
The heat is stifling
It's spreading up out from inside
The sweat is coming through each and every pore
Don't wanna be here no more
Don't wanna be here no more
Don't wanna be here no more
Don't wanna be here

(solo)

Chorus

(repeat 'Don't wanna be here no more' while playing D9 to end.)




Chords:

For the intro and verse, just use the basic power chords, ie the first
three strings of each chord. I play the chords starting at B on the 7th
fret.

For the chorus, play Bb, F and G as bar chords but play the open C. I've
tabbed the important variation on the C below.

D9 is as follows: E A D G B e or E A D G B e

x x 0 2 3 0 x 5 7 7 5 5

Play whichever is most comfortable.

Obviously there is a pattern of palm muting and playing the chords clean
throughout the verse and chorus, but it would take ages to tab out, and
it's not complicated, so I didn't bother. But I've tabbed out the complete
solo, at 2.15 on the track, using what I think is standard tablature
notation, but if there are any queries on this, or even corrections, don't
hesitate to ask...
