Standard (EADGBE)

Slide Riff

Forget about green bottles

 you can lend me some money if you want

and all of those fast-paced drinking friends of yours

 are all sitting around trying to remember the good times

they’ve forgotten

cigarette smoke like a weather front

ashtrays and guitars - misunderstood

and I feel like playing pool below the tree line

let's get out a map pretend that we could

to Riff X2

reckless - afternoons with chainsaw fiddle players

watch your step buddy that's my sister you're talking to and riding the late night

subway cattle cars crashing on the kitchen table with people eating breakfast around you

and drawn the last straw to the sunrise gunfight

working class neighbors waking up to you and coughing up the wrong tree hey ya it'll be

alright and if you ever get up before ten

there ain't nothing you can do

Chorus

but skydive home

and leave all of the answers to your intelligent friends

 and you're always one step back from

being one step over the edge and

to Riff X2

now it's way too late to be out and the band sucks

they're rocking but I'm tired of “twist and shout”

the winds in the trees and the smokes on the water and knocking over all of those chairs

ain't no way to impress her

and crooked teeth darling with dirty finger nails

outlaws and gunslingers boozed from all those bar rails

and let's turn out the lights son

give me another slow song

crashing on the corner while the cops telling you to move along

Chorus x2

Outro solo over G and D Riff

Notes:

This is the way I play these riffs. They are similar to the band but not exactly the same.

First verse is arpeggiated.
