This is how I play the song! Suggestions and corrections welcome!
Note: While playing the E chord, hammer your pinky on the B string 2nd fret about every 3 strums.
Like so:
E E
e-0 e-0
B-0 B-2
G-1 G-1
D-2 D-2
A-2 A-2
E-0 E-0
(For instance, I hit that note 4 times between each line in the verses,
the 4th being in the beginning of the next line)
[Intro]
E
(0:31 seconds)
F#m E A E E x2
[Verse 1]
F#m E A E
It's half past two in the afternoon
F#m E A E
And I wish I could see your faces
F#m E A E
Wondering where you are from an airport bar
F#m E A E C#m
Is a useless exercise but what's time wasted
[Verse 2]
F#m E A E
When just being here
F#m E A E
Is to recycle a single day
F#m E A E
I can pass the time
F#m E A E C#m
But I can't undo the changes once they're made
[Chorus]
B F# A E
Please don't go forgetting about me
B F# A E
Don't go forgetting about me
F#m E A E E x2
[Verse 3]
F#m E A E
I got in too deep when I was asleep
F#m E A E
I thought I had it made
F#m E A E
Life in that dream was just what it seemed
F#m E A E C#m
If I knew then what I know now I would not have stayed
[Chorus]
B F# A E
Please don't go forgetting about me
B F# A E
Don't go forgetting about me
B F# A E
Don't go forgetting about me
B F# A A
Don't go forgetting about me
[Outro]
E
