(from here you should be able to ad in your own notes to doyle's words)
All I had..
To show me the way..
Was the sound of music..
From the street every day..
Chorus:
C# B B A
Too many people..
C# B B A
Not enough shelter..
C# B B A
The poor getting weaker..
C# B B A
The rich getting stronger..
C# B B A
I've seen everything..
C# B B A
I needed to see...
C# B B A
I got my mind made up..
C# B B A
To give it all away..
Verse:
Workin' man..
Way down south..
Bet any moment back at the house..
All that love..
Couldn't hold back..
Cause bells were ringing..
The sky turned black..
Solo:
the prelude is a bunch of licks that are just varied versions
of the intro riff.
then play the hell out of these notes.
