Standard (EADGBE)

It sound as correct as possible while still being technically feasible for a solo player

Intro

These are just arpeggiated chords way up the fretboard.

Verse

By the time the buzz was wearing off

We were standing out on the sidewalk

With our tattoos that looked like rings

In the hot Nevada sun

Verse 2

Gifts piled high and our moms and dads shook hands

And our party of polaroid friends

Rented a pool and hired a band

Bridge

Maybe they knew more than we knew

Cause they danced and drank while we jumped off the deep end

Chorus

In order to have the root notes make any melodic sense, play at least the first two

chords from each line only on the high 4 strings (D G B e). If this part is too complex,

You can simplify it by ignoring the altered root notes and just playing standard chords

Oh I've got you

To thank

For this

Christmas came around

Yeah and everything was going to crap

For moms and dads, not a clue to be had

Yeah we put on a pretty good act

And they seemed to all need to believe it

So we danced and drank and paddled hard Beneath it

Oh I've got you

To thank

For this

You can't say you've ne-ver had a doubt

and smoked it down but really wanted out

Play chorus sans lyrics.

Then there's a solo. I found one transcription that claims its F Bb C A played 4 times.

This sounds wrong to me, but whatever. If anyone feels inspired to figure out something

here, more power to you. I'm moving on.

By the time the buzz was wearing off

We were standing out on the sidewalk

With our tattoos that looked like rings

In the hot Nevada sun

And they won't fade

Chorus
