Lick #2:

This one is played behind most of the verses, during the 'G' chord.
The tab below assumes you're playing an open G (300023); just work
this pattern into your finger-picking, if any. It also sounds nice
when moved down an octave, but you need to go to dropped-D tuning.

Verse 1:

G
My telephone wakes me in the morning. Have to get up to answer the call,
F C G F C G
So I think I'll go back to the family, where no one can ring me at all.


Verse 2:

G
Living this life has its problems, so I think that I'll give it a break.
F C G F C G
Oh, I'm going back to the family, 'cause I've had about all I can take.


Repeat intro lick, then:

Am C D C
Master's in the counting house, counting all his money.
D C
Sister's sitting by the mirror, she thinks her hair looks funny.
G Bb C D

And here am I thinking to myself, just a-wondering what it pays to do.



Solo 1 (bass/flute)

Alternate D & C, then end on Asus2


Verse 3:

G
I think I enjoyed all my problems, where I did not get nothing for free.
F C G F C G
Oh, I'm going back to the family, doing nothing is bothering me.


Verse 4:

G
I'll get a train back to the city. The soft life is getting me down.
F C G F C G
There's more fun away from the family, get some action when I roll into town.


Repeat intro lick, then:

Am C D C
Everything I do is wrong. What the hell was I thinking?
D C
Phone keeps ringing all day long, I got no time for thinking.
G Bb C D
And every day has the same old way, they're giving me too much to do.


Solos (bass/flute, then guitar, then all fade) D C D C ...
