"Consequence Free"(Doyle/McCann)
From "Turn"(1999)
a humble attempt at finally getting this
tune right in all its surprising subtleties.
every other tab goes for Sean's (easier)
capoed part,but Alan's uncapoed part is
a bit more distinctive,including on the
LP version his Takamine 12 string,
(also heard on GOIN' UP and
TROIS NAVIRES DE BLE)
INTRO:
E
Na na na na nya nana na |E B'| A' B'|
E B' A' E
oh, na na nah na nya nana na
E B' A' B'
Wouldn’t it be great if no one ever got offended?
E B' A' B'
Wouldn’t it be great to say what’s really on your mind?
E B' A' B'
I have always said all the rules are made for bending
E B' A' B'
And if I let my hair down, would that be such a crime?
A B E C#m
I wanna be consequence free
A B C#m B
and I wanna be where nothing needs to matter
A B E C#m
I wanna be consequence free just sing
E B A B E
Na Na Na Na Na Ne Na Na Na X2
I could really use to lose my Catholic conscience
'Cause I’m getting sick of feeling guilty all the time
I won’t abuse it, yeah I’ve got the best intentions
For a little bit of anarchy but not the hurting kind
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
A E C#m
I couldn’t sleep at all last night
B' A'
Cause I had so much on my mind
B' A' C#m
I’d like to leave it all behind,
B' A'
But you know it’s not that easy
B'
ooh,for just one night
Wouldn’t it be great, if the band just never ended
We could stay out late and we would never hear last call
We wouldn’t need to worry about approval or permission,we could
Slip off the edge and never worry about the fall
(worry 'bout the fall)
CHORUS
CHORDS:
eadgbe eadgbe eadgbe
B': 7998x0 A': 5776x0 C#m: 4x6654
These are all played with the thumb.
