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!
Once again, bla bla bla awesome song, bla bla bla I play this in CGCGCC with power chords. I suggest you do the same, 'cause some JBT songs are good in standard... but others are truly better in open C. If this seems a bit easy and lacking, I suggest you have a look at the tab that Largebehind put up here on UG. It's pretty much spot on. NOTE: the song is apparently played with a capo on 4th, so the scales are E minor and B minor with the same chords as below, but I like it without (lower pitch, deeper sound).

(clean) CmAbFm Old man looks out the window, You know he can not open it anymore. The air outside its gone to rancid, And the doctor said for him you know it wouldn't be so good for, He saw a hole start opening up in the sky, He's buying water man he doesn't even know why, The smog alerts don't let him even go outside, And then he starts to wonder when the Earth it started to die,

(clean) CmAbFm Old man he bars up the windows, You know he does not feel so safe anymore, He comes from those supposed good ole days, When you did not even have to go lock your doors, He saw security man look like police man, Saw the police start looking like the army man, He saw the army start acting like the C.I.A., And guess what, the C.I.A. was the president,
