This is how this songs is played or rather can be played over an accoustic, the other

chords versions of this song don't really allow you to play the song with the power and

energy with which this song can be played on an accoustic or at leat thats what i think,

i mean check out the unplugged of Nirvana or Pearl Jam...they do keep the energy of the

songs with them even without distortion...

Now you'll have to find out by yourself what rhythm do you want to play,for example in

the intro bit you can only strum the chords once...but if you are playing by yourself

like on an acoustic then it may not sound all that impressive...so what i do is is play

the chords,

G C in (D D UDUDUDUD DD) each and then

F (D D) C (D D) G (D D UDUD)

adding a lil' dead notes before switching to the next chord,and i swear the rythm

changes every time I play.

So figure out the pattern you'll enjoy struming for this song!

Rhythm A :-

Rhythm for the parts before the verses and in the verses...

G5 -(DDUD) -Strike Damp Notes- F5 -(UDU) C5 -(D) Bb5 -(D) x3

Intro: Play G (Open) slide your strumming finger/pick from the low E string to the

higher e..going through one string at a time

So buy me somethin' to eat

Rags to riches

Or so they say

You gotta

Keep pushin' for the fortune and fame

You know it's, it's all a gamble

When it's just a game

Strapped in the chair of the city's gas chamber

Why I'm here, I can't quite remember

The surgoen general say's it's hazardous to breathe

I'd have another cigarette

F5 C5 (Strum a bit on C5 with frequent dampning)

So far away

Capitain America's been torn apart

Now he's a court jester

With a broken heart

He said turn me around

And take me back to the start

I must be losing my mind
