I jumped so high I touched the clouds G Wo-o-o-o-o-oh [x2] D I stretched my hands out to the sky
We danced with monsters through the night G Wo-o-o-o-o-oh [x2]
D I'm never gonna look back (Woah)
Never gonna give it up (No) Em G Please don't wake me now
(1, 2, 3, 4) D Oo-o-o-o-oo G This is gonna be the best day of my li-ife
My li-i-i-i-i-ife D Oo-o-o-o-oo G This is gonna be the best day of my li-ife D G My li-i-i-i-i-ife
D I howled at the moon with friends
And then the sun came crashing in G Wo-o-o-o-o-oh [x2] D But all the possibilities
No limits just epiphanies G Wo-o-o-o-o-oh [x2]
D I'm never gonna look back (Woah)
Never gonna give it up (No) Em G Please don't wake me now
(1, 2, 3, 4) D Oo-o-o-o-oo G This is gonna be the best day of my li-ife My li-i-i-i-i-ife D Oo-o-o-o-oo G This is gonna be the best day of my li-ife D G My li-i-i-i-i-ife
D I hear it calling outside my window I feel it in my soul (soul) The stars were burning so bright The sun was out 'til midnight I say we lose control (control)
(1, 2, 3, 4) D G This is gonna be the best day of my li-ife
My li-i-i-i-i-ife D Oo-o-o-o-o G This is gonna be the best day of my li-ife
My li-i-i-i-i-ife D This is gonna be, this is gonna be, this is gotta be, G The best day of my life
Everything is looking up, everybody up now D G This is gonna be the best day of my li-ife D My li-i-i-i-i-ife
I've been meaning to post this up for a while, and I just finished it tonight. It's a slightly simplified version of the Sweet Home Alabama riff. Basically, this plays throughout the song with changes to the end bit sometimes. You might be wondering what those weird letters are for, well, they're for telling you when to hammer on and slide off. Hammer ons are when you pick the string and then put another finger on a fret above the one you're currently playing so you make two notes in one pick. Slides are basically the same thing except you slide instead. P.S. s=slide and h=hammer on.
This song was written in support of the Washington Referendum 74, which would make same sex marriage legal. I think this is one of the most straight from the heart songs I've ever heard. Also, the music video is awesome so watch it. Also also, I've gotten no song recommendations so far so feel free to recommend one in the comments and, as the song says, and since I'm talking about something to feel free to do, also feel free to marry people that are the same gender. Enjoy!
Eb Cm When I was in the third grade I thought that I was gay Ab Eb 'Cause I could draw, an' my uncle was, and I kept my room straight Eb Cm I told my mom tears rushing down my face Ab Eb She's like "Ben, you've loved girls since before pre-k," trippin' Eb Cm Yea I guess she had a point didn't she? Ab Eb Bunch of stereotypes all in my head. Eb Cm I remember doing the math like, "yea I'm good at little league" Ab Eb a preconceived idea of what it all meant Cm For those that liked the same sex Had the characteristics Ab Eb
The right wing conservatives think it's a decision Eb Cm
And you can be cured with some treatment and religion Ab Eb
Man made rewiring of a predisposition Cm
Playing god, aw nah here we go Ab Eb
America the brave still fears what we don't know Cm
And god loves all his children, is somehow forgotten Ab Eb
But we paraphrase a book written thirty-five-hundred years ago, I don't know Eb
And I can't change Even if I tried
Ab Eb
Even if I wanted to Eb I'm acting strange
Even if I try Ab Eb Even if I wanted to Ab Eb My love, my love, my love She keeps me warm Ab Eb She keeps me warm She keeps me warm Ab Eb She keeps me warm
Eb Cm If I was gay, I would think hip-hop hates me Ab Eb Have you read the YouTube comments lately Eb Cm "Man, that's gay" get dropped on the daily Ab Eb We become so numb to what we're saying Eb Cm a culture founded from oppression, yet we don't have acceptance for 'em
Ab Eb Call each other F****** behind the keys of a message board Eb Cm a word rooted in hate, yet our genre still ignores it Ab Eb a gay is synonymous with the lesser Eb Cm It's the same hate that's caused wars from religion
Ab Eb Gender to skin color, the complexion of your pigment Cm The same fight that led people to walk outs and sit ins Ab Eb
It's human rights for everybody, there is no difference! Cm
Live on and be yourself Ab Eb
When I was at church they taught me something else Cm
If you preach hate at the service those words aren't anointed
Ab
That holy water that you soak in has been poisoned EbCm When everyone else is more comfortable remaining voiceless Ab Rather than fighting for humans that have had their rights stolenEb Gm7 I might not be the same, but that's not important Ab Eb No freedom till we're equal, damn right I support it Eb
And I can't change Even if I tried
Ab Eb
Even if I wanted to Eb I'm acting strange
Even if I try Ab Eb Even if I wanted to Ab Eb My love, my love, my love She keeps me warm Ab Eb She keeps me warm She keeps me warm Ab Eb She keeps me warm
Eb Cm And press play, don't press pauseAb Eb Progress, march on Eb With the veil over our eyes Cm We turn the back on the cause Ab Eb Till the day that my uncles can be united by law Eb Cm When kids are walking 'round the hallway plagued by pain in their heart Ab Eb
a world so hateful some would rather die than be who they are Eb Cm
And a certificate on paper isn't gonna solve it all Ab
But it's a damn good place to start Eb
No law is gonna change us Cm
We have to change us Ab
Whatever god we believe in Eb
We come from the same oneEb Gm7 Strip away the fear Ab Eb Underneath it's all the same love About time we raised up
Eb Cm Ab Eb And I can't change Eb Cm Even if I tried Ab Eb Even if I wanted to Eb I'm acting strangeEb Ab Eb Even if I try Eb Cm Even if I wanted toAb My love, my love, my love
Eb
Love is patient, love is kind x2 Love is patient, love is kind (I'm not crying on Sundays) x3 Love is patient, love is kind
