Sammy Hagar, From Colton, California, was popular in the early- mid 1980's for fast paced, guitar-driven, hard rock with a masculine, lets-go-party attitude, joined the band Van Halen as lead vocalist after David Lee Roth's departure from the group. (Before joining Van Halen he sang lead vocals in Ronnie Montrose's classic rock band Montrose, and had some single output, notably his release, "I Can't Drive 55".) As much as it was public surprise when Hagar joined the band, so it was when he left.

Song: Both Sides Now Artist: Sammy Hagar and Jesse Harms Tabbed by Matt Pippenger, the biggest red rocker fan in Indiana!! This is the 7th track off Sammy's latest (and best) solo effort, "Marching to Mars". This is a great album, and Sam proves that life after VH is not impossible, although he will be greatly missed. Anyway, this is a really easy and fun song to play, just tune down a 1/2 step and get ready. Here goes:
Intro riff (strumming):
Asus2AAsus2AAsus, AAsus2A (all x2) (listen to CD for strumming pattern)
G Well there's another side to everything D Intro riff x 2 connected like the ring around your finger G and I know this like I know myself D Intro riff x 2 not very well yet I'm no stranger
Chorus: E but it won't be long D G Intro riff x 2 cause I see Both Sides Now
Verse 2:
G When nothin's gained then something's lost D Intro riff x 2 pay half the price at twice...the cost G we're crystalized we stand alone D Intro riff x 2 conviction holds like a stone
Chorus
Bridge:
G (I like to slap here) D Yeah we gotta learn how to listen D (slap) A before we learn to talk G (slap) D we gotta learn to crawl D (slap) A before we learn to walk G (slap) D and if you want a little peace D (slap) A sometimes you gotta fight G D Intro x 2 we gotta walk through darkness, alone, before we stand in the light
oh yeah
Chorus
Verse 3:
G We're always somewhere in between D Intro riff x 2 we never taste the sweet...extreme G and we're crystalized we stand alone D Intro riff x 2 conviction holds us like a stone
Chorus Bridge Chorus Bridge Chorus...fade
-Way to go Sammy, another great song. Keep on rockin!
