Standard (EADGBE)
And at the line with the *, play C, C, then play the normal part again.
And the chorus is:
I've been to this bar where I met a girl
she told me life was hard livin' in this world
next day I went to an old friend of mine
he told me his job payed good
*but he was lookin' for better times
lookin' for better times
Last night I watched tv in my room
I was so tired I didn't care what channel I tuned
I saw colours no grey or black and white
it's good to have nothing on your mind and
*you know what I mean
you know what I mean
There must be some kind of a slow change
getting hold of me
I can see the colours don't seem
the same as they used to be
there must be some kind of a slow change
getting hold of me
some kind of a slow change
getting hold of me
I got a letter from a girl she said she loved me so
I didn't answer 'cause I had a girl of my own
I got your name and number in my mind
you'll never know when you'll be
*lookin' for better times
lookin' for better times
Then repeat the chorus,
Next there is a solo, but we didn't write it down (Hey, we're no
geniusses, so if you want to play it, just fool around in E, that's what
they do on the record.....)
Repeat the chorus again.
All together this is a really nice song to play, but if you don't sing
with it it's rather boring (I know: the doctor doesn't allow me to sing,
because I don't seem to do it right). It doesn't matter if you sing out
of tune, that's what he does.... (You should listen to Henk Koorn when
he's singing 'Eugene' during a gig)
