(This song is easiest divided into 11 separate parts)
1. During Bass Intro, Guitar plays distortion in the key of G. At the end of the intro, right before "Here we go!" Slide a C to a D.
2. In the part of the song following that (but before the lyrics begin) the guitar plays:
X2
3. VERSE
I'm money broke
It's no joke
Can't cope
Use the rope this time
Knuckle up, buckle up
The ride's getting rough
But I will not lose my mind
I asked them if I could come in
And the first thing they said was no
If I can't come in, that means I can't come back
That means I got nowhere to go
4. CHORUS
I'm a hyena fighting for the lion share F C Bb F X2 Sometimes the lion share ain't there
X2
5. VERSE 2 (Same chords as the first) Absent from political authority An animal I've become Total disorder and confusion is the lifestyle that I run Permit me to do what I want and I will I'm a nomad to travel Concrete glass stone and gravel
6. CHORUS
7. VERSE 3 (A little different. Also heavy mike distortion. *Besides the "D# Bb" chords are basically impossible to pick out. The bass carries the melody. However it does sound sort of like a G being raked.)
Every time I turn around it's the same sad story
Getting ganked I wish it would end
And life's comisary
I'm a bad missionary with a wicked message I send
(????) ...is not the way I want to live.
Who could I trust in a world of green?
When I'm taught to take and not give.
8. BRIDGE
Who could I trust?
When I'm taught to take and not give.
9. SOLO (Don't have time to tab this out, but these are the chords played under the solo.)
X 4 Guitar solo played out of a blues scale in the key of F
10. Repeat first verse (#3)
11. CHORUS v.2 Play through the chords (F C Bb F) two times alone with the bass before kicking in the chorus lyrics. During the second time through: Spoken: You see there's nothing you can say that's going to change my mind. Fuck you!
I'm a hyena fighting for the lion share
Sometimes the lion share ain't there --------------------------------------------------------
