Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

The dots are equal 1/8s.

Verse 1

Don't strum, just continue playing the intro.

Thorn in my side

You're always there

Just to remind me

That I still care

Verse 2

start strumming; if you're playing the song with 2 guitars,

one of them continues playing the intro.

Thorn in my side

You won't let me go

Right there beside me

To let me know

Bridge 1

Hit C and G chords twice; strum D chords.

I've been pushed around

Been knocked down

Lost a round or three

Life took a couple of

Things I loved when I was

Too blind to see

Chorus 1

One guitar strums the chords,

to see what the other one does,

have a look at the tab version;

() means hit the chord and then mute right away.

But I'll survive

I gave up on luck

But I'm still getting by

Yeah, I'm gonna be alright

You can test my faith

But you can't take my pride

Thorn in my side

Thorn in my side, Woh oh oh oh

Verse 3

Like verse 2, or play only the intro with light distortion.

Thorn in my side

You just won't quit

Once in a while when I crack a smile

You rub my face in it

Verse 4

Only strum the chords, stop playing the intro.

Thorn in my side

You won't let me run

God bless the fights

That I've lost and won

Chorus 2

Like chorus 1.

But I'll survive

I gave up on luck

But I'm still getting by

Yeah, I'm gonna be alright

You can test my faith

But you can't take my pride

Thorn in my side

Thorn in my side

Thorn in my side

Thorn in my side

Thorn in my side

Thorn in my side

Solo

The dots are equal 1/8s again.

Bridge 2

Like bridge 1.

I've been pushed around

Been knocked down

Lost a round or three

Life took a couple of

Things I loved when I was

Too blind to see

Chorus 3

Like chorus 1 and 2.

But I'll survive

I gave up on luck

But I'm still getting by

Yeah, I'm gonna be alright

You can test my faith

But you can't take my pride

Thorn in my side

Thorn in my side

Thorn in my side

Thorn in my side

Thorn in my side

Thorn in my side
