Tuning: Standard Tuning (EADGBe)
Average man, very nice chord progression here. Fiddle around with the rhythm,
you’ll get it soon enough :)
Chords:
E|-2---0---0---x---2---3---
B|-3---1---0---x---3---0---
G|-4---2---0---x---2---0---
D|-4---2---2---4---0---0---
A|-2---0---2---4---0---2---
E|-2---x---0---2---x---3---
Please note: on the version of the cd you mostly only hear the lower notes of the
chords strummed. And dont get scared by the F#5 powerchord, I think a F#minor
also works in stead off the F#5 if you’re planning to play everything in bare.
But as i said you only hear the lower notes so the F#5 was more of an indication
of what strings to hit. I try to keep as much open chords in my playing as possible though :)
Intro:
x 2
Verse 1:
If i was a farmer
Instead of a faker
If i was a realer
and not just some raker
Raking through a memory
that doesn't belong to me
Just someone I could of been
if only i kept walking...
Chorus:
Have another drink my son
Enjoy another cigarette
'Cos it's time you realised...
you're just an average man...
Verse 2:
Alone on a motorway
you catch you're breath
Cat's eyes lead everyway
to lonesomness
Since you learn to hide your fears
and downsize your dreams
Still alive, still sincere
inside the scheme...
Chorus:
Have another drink my son
Enjoy another cigarette
'Cos it's time you realised...
you're just an average man...
Verse 3: (different chord progression)
And ff this is dark-ness here
And if this is dark-ness... coming
Chorus:
Have another drink my son
Enjoy another cigarette
'Cos it's time you realised...
you're just an average man...
