Songs From An American Movie Vol 2: Good Time For A Bad Attitude Lyrics By Art Alexakis Tuning half a step down NOTE: Tuning is half a step down (Low to High EbAbDbGbBbeb) All Chords are written with respect to that tuning (ie A becomes G#) (Verse Riff) B F# Ebm Db eb|-------------------------------------------------| Bb|-------------------------------------------------| Gb|--------0-----------0-----------0-----------0----| Db|-----5-----------------------9-----------7-------| Ab|--3--------------5-----5--7--------6--5--------4-| Eb|-----------5--3----------------------------------| (No Guitar) (Verse riff) It can come from out of nowhere Hit you when you're safe and warm Take it easy my star Your time is gonna come Your time is gonna come You got those crazy blue eyes Yeah, you got those crazy blues All those pretty smiles I can see them laughing at you Your time is gonna come Your time is gonna come (FOR CHORUS: Guitar (probably with a chorus pedal) plays each chord once, while another strums the chords continuously behind with palm muting) (NOTE: Remember that it's tuned 1/2 step down. So play a B chord like you would play a C in standard tuning.)
