INTRO: G D C G D G
C G D
She was a prom queen, takin' the world by storm
C G D
I felt like James Dean, with her on my arm
C G D
The night was a free ride, lit by the moon
C G D
I prayed from the inside, don't let it end soon
CHORUS:
C G D
It's funny how the things we want become the things we don't
In the long run
C G D
The one that we let slip thru becomes the one love true
When she's the gone one
C G D Dsus2 D G
Oh, oh, we're never gonna get away
C G D Dsus2 D G
Yeah, yeah, from the things that go bump in the day
D Dsus2 D G
The things that go bump in the day
G C G D C G D G
I've got a good friend, in love with the blues
He lives down the dark end, with nothin' to lose
Believing in sorrow, he's making the most
And maybe tomorrow, he can give up the ghost
CHORUS:
C G D
It's funny how the things we need only make you bleed
When the chips fall
C G D
The one that made the world go 'round just up and knocks ya down
With a phone call
C G D
It's funny how the things we feel become the things we hear
When we're all alone
C G D
The things that we don't understand get up and bite your hand
Like a dog bone
C G D Dsus2 D G
Oh, oh, we're never gonna get away
C G D Dsus2 D G
Yeah, yeah, from the things that go bump in the day
C G D Dsus2 D G
Oh, oh, we're never gonna get away
C G D Dsus2 D G
Yeah, yeah, from the things that go bump in the day
D Dsus2 D G
Things that go bump in the day
D Dsus2 D G
The things that go bump in the day

Twizzle05, All the major (pun intended) chords are correct, although the exact location of some are probably more a function of that darned editor program than where you actually wanted to put them.
The only place where I would delete anything is the Dsus4 to Dsus2
at the end of line two. I am not saying that they don't occur there at some time, but I think the fill that starts just before the end of the line is more complicated than just Dsus4 to Dsus2. I would just leave them out of the chord submission and maybe incorporate them into a fill tab. BTW, I have never seen a Dsus4 to Dsus2 transition, although they may very well exist. Dsus4 and G do share a lot of common notes, but it is not worth belaboring. Since we have brought up Dsus2 and Dsus4, I would insert Dsus2 at a couple of locations that I think really enhance the strumming pattern of the rhythm guitar. Those locations are most but not all instances of the two phrases: "that go bump in the day" and "never gonna get away", except where there is a walkdown, for instance at the end of the song. The sequence would be roughly: D,D,D,D,D,Dsus2,D,G. The Dsus2 goes over the "in" and the "get" of their respective phrases. Other than these really minor things, it looks like a "10" to me.
-crcrcrcr | 8/16/2005 | Wow, it's hard to do corrections anymore...I spent a good five minutes on re-aligning those chords!
I can see what you mean...and about that Dsus4-Dsus2 riff...that's just something I'm in the habit of doing, when I come across a riff in a song that starts with a D chord. I'm not very good at tabbing out the riffs themselves, so I improvise. But I took it off so as not to confuse anyone. Some chord placement off...but it's close enough.
Thanks for the help!
-twizzle05 | 8/16/2005 | Twizzle05, Looks good except that you need to put a D chord in between the Dsus2's and the G's. Remember the strumming sequence at the end of those phrases is: D,D,D,D,D,Dsus2,D,G.
-crcrcrcr | 8/17/2005 | Yeah, I got so caught up in chord alignment I forgot that. There it is, finally...maybe some chord placement still off, but that is the best I can do with it (and it's close enough, I think). If you (or anyone, for that matter) sees drastic chord placement changes, let me know, and I'll take care of them. Thanks for the help!
