  • I believe this is how it's played...
    Tuning from Low to High string goes C#, G#, C#, F#, C#, C#.
     
  • Don't worry, it's not that hard to tune... All you do is make the C# by
    putting your finger on the 2nd fret of the B string (B-2--)and now you have
    your C#: tune your Low E, D, B, and E to it! After that, simply drop your A
  • and G string (my favourite kind of string ;-) ) by 1/2 (Put your Capo on the 1st fret
    standard tune your A
    and G string)
  •  
    It's Picking/Strumming... Either try and pick it after a beer or strum it
    when you're sober and it'll sound about right... Hehehe

    From what I hear, the song basically goes like this:
     
  • C#|----0------0------0------0-----|
    C#|----0------0------0------0-----|
    F#|---0-0-0--0-0-0--0-0-0--0-0-0--|
  • C#|--0---0--0---0--0---0--0---0---| X Repeat until song is over
    G#|-5------10-----9------7--------|
    C#|-5------9------9------7--------|
  •  
    He does add a bit of hammer-on stuff like:
    C#|------0----|
  • C#|------0----|
    F#|-----0-0-0-|
    C#|----0---0--|
  • G#|-5-5-------|
    C#|-4H5-------|
     
  • and
    C#|--------0----|
    C#|--------0----|
  • F#|-------0-0-0-|
    C#|------0---0--|
    G#|-0H4H5-------|
  • C#|-----5-------|
     
    and
  • C#|--------0----|
    C#|--------0----|
    F#|-------0-0-0-|
  • C#|------0---0--|
    G#|-5-----------|
    C#|-5H4H5-------|
  •  
    Which sounds pretty neat. As well as add a little lick of:
    C#|----------0----|
  • C#|----------0----|
    F#|---------0-0-0-| in his live version
    C#|--------0---0--|
  • G#|-5/9-7-5-------|
    C#|-------5-------|
     
  • You can play around with this song and add a finger on and off the G
    string at the 7th fret and play something
    like this:
  • C#|-----0----|
    C#|-----0----|
    F#|----7-7-7-|
  • C#|---0---0--|
    G#|--5-------|
    C#|--5-------|

    Before I forget, it's all about the singer, not the song, so here are the
    lyrics:
  •  
    15 months and they would
    Drag you from your throne
  • But you ain't got no place to go
    You're the bad one from the day you were born
    You can run
  • I don't think that you can hide
    (Repeat Chord Pattern 4x)
     
  • Have you found the knife and cigarettes inside
    of your locker with your books?
    Smoking weed with Joe and Rock inside his house
  • You can run
    I don't think that you can hide
     
  • Mom wants you to come back home
    She keeps crying when I call her on the phone
    Won't you give this thing a chance?
  • You were not what you were
    When you were young
    You were not what you were
  • When you were young
    (Repeat Chord Pattern 4x)
     
  • I was f***ed up when you needed me the most
    Trying to starve myself to death
    I still feel like I did something always wrong
  • You can run
    I don't think that you can hide
     
  • Mom wants you to come back home
    She keeps crying when I call her on the phone
    Won't you give this thing a chance?
  • Cause you were not what you were
    When you were young
    You were not what you were
  • When you were young
     
    (Play Chord Pattern 2x)
  •  
    You were not what you were
    When you were young
  • You were not what you were
    When you were young
    You were not what you were
  • When you were young
    You were not what you were
    When you were young
  • You were not // Mom wants you to come back home
    She keeps crying when I call her on the phone
    Won't you give this thing a chance?
  • You were not what you were
    When you were young
     
  • (Repeat Chord Pattern 3x)
  • PLAY TOO ..
