_ _ [C] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ I had a [Am] job, [C] I had a girl, I had something [G] going, stirring in this world
I'm down [Am] in Atlanta, I'm down in [C] Long Beach, _ I'm up [G] in Manhattan
Got my own down [F] road, _ down [G] in the cosh, where all the ever [Am] does is rain
[F] Don't you feel like [G] you're on a [Am] damn _ _ bound [G] train
She just said [Am] Joe, I [C] got a girl, we had [G] it all, we ain't got it anymore
She felt [Am] it all
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Gm] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
He's _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ on tour there
It's not really as [E] basic as can be, at least you can't play it as basic as can be
There's always more to it in my opinion
And I do talk [Gm] about that, as in you know, how to approach [Eb] stuff dynamically and all that
Especially when you play by yourself
There is of course this intro riff
And for that you do need to be a little bit more specific with the strumming
Because you want to hear this riff in there, the melody note there
[G] Which starts here on the fourth string when playing E [Gm] minor
_ _ _ And then when you move to G, [Bb] there you hit the third string
[G] _ _ _
_ _ Which is while playing an upstroke
From [F] there you have a melody happening on the third string
Along with the fourth in order to somewhat accompany it I [Bb] guess _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ There, and then you move to D
And you have what you [G] already saw earlier in [F] the preview
_ _ [Gm] And that is actually, there is all to it
At one point in the song of course all the _ [C] instrumentation is, well, is not there
It just continues with a [Gm] synthesizer or an organ or something
Of course you somewhat _ want to fill it [Bb] up there
_ Which you can [Gm] start out with just single [Bb] downstrokes
And then later a little bit of flat picking [F] in there So [Em] like_
I rush through [G] the air, I bust through [Bb] the front door
My head pounding [F] hard, upstairs I plunge
The [Gm] room is a lull, I [Bb] got a bad loose end
Well, you get the picture, something like that
You can also see him flat pick [Eb] a little bit through
It's subtle though, it is all really [Fm] subtle
This song is all about feel [Gm] and getting the story across
Which is so _ incredibly_
[Gm] wow
[Eb] Yeah, ok, if you're a Boss fan then I'm sure you know what I mean there
Ok, now if you want to learn it of course, you can take it away [Gm] from here, maybe
If you want to hear more [F] details and more little specific things to [G] do there
Even though both parts are really easy
