Tuning: Standard

This is my first attempt at a proper TAB...here goes.
Notice that the chords are amazingly similar to those in 'Warm Fuzzy Feeling'

Suggested voicings:

A B D E5* F F#m

e-0--2--2--x--1--2-|
B-2--4--3--x--1--2-|
G-2--4--2--x--2--2-|
D-2--4--4--2--3--4-|
A-0--2--5--2--3--4-|
E-0--2--2--0--1--2-|


*For E5, it's basically just hitting the E string with down strokes, but you can add more

[INTRO]
>>in the intro and chorus chords, there's a small theme that goes like this:

e-----------------------------------------------|
B---2---2---3-2-0-2-0---------------------------|
G---------------------2-------------------------|
D-----------------------------------------------|
A-----------------------------------------------|
E-----------------------------------------------|
>>this might be played on a different guitar, but if you're playing solo,


>> try to play this with the chords in the chorus. Not too hard with the A chord, but
in F#m

[VERSE 1]
A
Once I had it all planned out
B
My dirty fingers moved about
D E A E5
To make a mess of everything around me
A
I don't claim to know my way
B
I still run in circles every day
D E
Running around half blind
F E
Life can be unkind

[CHORUS 1]
A
But it's better than it was
F#m
It's better than it was
D E
I complain very little because
A E5
It's better than it was

[VERSE 2]
A
I get to remembering
B
We had alot more money then
D E A E5
To make a mess of everything around us
A
Now the money comes and goes a bit
B
Faster than my confidence grows
D E
Everybody knows
F E
There ain't nothing new about money woes

[CHORUS 2]
A
But it's better than it was
F#m
It's better than it was
D E
It's better than it was
F#m
It's better than we ever could have
E A
Wished it to before

[BRIDGE]

It was bad a while ago
F7 E
Better than this I know
