Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!
As per most of my tabs, I play this in CGCGCC tuning with power chords, (and John probably plays it in CGCGCE) but here it is in triad form. Probably better with barre chords for the syncopated effect.
This is a lesser known track of JBT's, and one you should probably look up on Youtube if you don't know it. (thanks to the peoples on the JBT forum for the lyrics)

AmGF Heaven only knows what's wrong or right, AmGF We sure as hell ain't gonna figure it out tonight, AmFCG For all that will come, for all that will pass, AmFCG Tell me man, what do you think will last?
AmFCG Cuz people wandering by a-doubting what it all just means, AmFCG They gonna find it from a god, they gonna find it from a machine, AmFCG For all that we've searched, for all that we've sold, AmFCG Tell me man, what do you think we know?
CHORUS CDmAmF Because I've been wandering around for so many years, I know you hear me cry, CDmAmF I'm bogged down by the mud from my own tears, I know you hear me cry, CDmAmF Well just the state I'm in, it rocks me to my core, I know you hear me cry, CDmAmF Won't someone please tell me, won't someone please me what's going on,
AmFCG Spending all our time protecting what we've got, But when we go, you know, all those things do not, For all that we've worked, for all that we wear, When did what we possess become our jails? Cuz it's all just looking a little hairy from down here, We all be looking for love but we taking it apart with fear, For all that we've loved, for all that we've lost, Tell me man, what do you think's the cost?
CHORUS CDmAmF Because I've been wandering around for so many years, I know you hear me cry, I'm bogged down by the mud from my own tears, I know you hear me cry, Well just the state I'm in, it rocks me to my core, I know you hear me cry, Won't someone please tell me, won't someone please me what's going on,
AmGF Heaven only knows what's wrong or right, We sure as hell ain't gonna figure it out tonight, AmFCG For all that we've loved, for all that we've lost, Tell me man, what you think's the cost?
CHORUS CDmAmF Because I've been wandering around for so many years, I know you hear me cry, I'm bogged down by the mud from my own tears, I know you hear me cry, Well just the state I'm in, it rocks me to my core, I know you hear me cry, Won't someone please tell me, won't someone please me what's going on...
