Fill One (F1)

g ---9-8-6p4-4---9-8-6p4-4-2--

The Song:  After intro riff, start verse 1:

E             A                          B/F1     (re: F1 = fill)
She sees the world through rose-coloured glasses
E       A                   B/F1
Painted skies and graceful romances
  A                   B   
I see a world that's tired and scared 
  Abm                      A/F1
Of living on the edge too long
Asus                B    
Where does she get off telling me
    Abm                A/F1            B/F1
That love will save us all      Save us all

(Note: the fills do change a little bit sometimes, but no big deal!)

Verse 2 (as verse 1)

She takes my hand and leads me to nowhere town
No matter where I stand it's always neutral ground
And in the cool of the evening blue
I feel so tired and alone
Where does she gett off telling me 
That love can save us all       Save us all
     
        E         A           B   
And its day after day  I keep hangin around can you tell me why
E            A         B   
Night after night I know I should leave
                               A/F1
But there's something in those eyes
                B               A/F1
That keeps me hangin on   Im hypnotized
   B                       A          E
It breaks my heart and I dont know why

SOlo: The song is in the key of E, so just muck around withit
using the notes of the fill and whatever!  The beginning
of the solo, just to get you started, is:

g -7777-5---775h7-5-2----

Repeat Verse 1, then chorus

note: after this line, this part is played by Greg:

"Day after day after day after day  And I dont know why...
