Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from another you been messin' around
They say you got a boy friend
You're up there every weekend
D G (riff 1)
They're talkin' about you and it's bringin' me down
But I know the neighborhood
And talk is cheap when the story is good
D G (riff 1)
And the tales grow taller on down the line
But I'm telling you, babe
That I don't think it's true, babe
And even if it is keep this in mind
{Refrain}
You take it on the run baby
If that's the way you want it baby
Then I don't want you around
I don't believe it
Not for a minute
You're under the gun so you take it on the run
You're thinking up your white lies
You're putting on your bedroom eyes
D G (riff 1)
You say you're coming home but you won't say when
But I can feel it coming
If you leave tonight keep running
And you need never look back again
Repeat Refrain x 1
Solo
(It will help if you have a guitar with 24 frets with this,
otherwise you'll be doing some SERIOUS string bending!)
I'll admit that the tab is NOT exact, but if you listen to the track
you'll get a better idea of the timing/picking.
