Capo 5th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

When played on an acoustic, this can become a very mellow tune. You can strum however

you like, but it has an upbeat rhythm naturally.

In the transition from verse to chorus to verse, keep strumming G in time with the song,

but just before the lead into the next part, you'll hit a quick C - D and then back to

G. Each note of the transition, C-D, are only played for one beat. You can do this for

each transition if you like, just to keep the feel of the old style. This is really the

most complicated part, once you figure out how you want to strum it.

There was a man who banged his head against a wall

He banged for 20 years, but the damn thing wouldnt fall

He left an honest life

He left a broken wife

He left it all behind, just to see what he could find

Millions and millions chase the wild goose tonight

To conquer loneliness theyll chase it all their lives

And when they find it they can just lay down and die

It seems the game is mostly pointless in the presence of the prize.

There was a woman who had a man as cold as ice

He built four walls so strong and he kept her locked inside

She harbored loneliness

Her husband couldnt guess

That shed take off her dress

And kill herself without a mess.

Millions and millions chase the wild goose tonight

To conquer loneliness theyll chase it all their lives

And when they find it they can just lay down and die

It seems the game is mostly pointless in the presence of the prize.
