upnorth Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I couldn't find this tabbed out anywhere and my son really wants to play it. With that in mind I'm trying to work through it but I'm a real hack at the guitar. I've got a little more than half and thought I'd ask for some help/direction before I finish. Thanks! standard tuning A Gm I got a million things that I'd rather do F#m A Than to play rock n roll for you Gm Honey if I blow you're fuse F#m A Can I please be excused G#m Gm I Gotta write myself today F#m A I can't write myself for you G#m Gm We haven't even been introduced F#m A So that'll never do [A][Gm][F#m][A] Know a lot of other people could be Standing here instead of me Singing their own sweet line Between clenching and cracking of teeth G#m Gm I've Gotta write myself today F#m A Write myself for you G#m Gm Oh Honey if I tell you the truth F#m A Well that'll never do Oh no honey, let's not get carried away Oh no honey, let's not get carried away There's a lot of other places to be A lot of things I would rather be doing A lot of songs I'd love to sing But I know that she would just ruin it I Gotta write myself today I write myself for you Oh honey we haven't been introduced Ah, Let's not get carried away Oh no honey, let's not get carried away Oh no honey, let's not get carried away Oh no honey, let's not get carried away Gotta write myself today I gotta write myself for you Quote Link to post Share on other sites
upnorth Posted November 30, 2009 Author Share Posted November 30, 2009 Hmmm, still sitting as the top post after a number of weeks. Anyone? A little help? I guess I'll just finish it out. I was hoping someone more competent than myself would chime in and let me know if I'm on the right track. C'est la vie. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gobias Industries Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 I can get around to it eventually, but my work is piling up at the moment. If you can give me at most two weeks, I'll have something to corroborate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gobias Industries Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Oh, shit, I just looked in this forum and found this. I'm sorry for, like, taking two months. But here it is: Most of the song is A-G-D-A, and the reason for the weird harmony right before the a is because of the augmented 4. The way I would play it is thus: E----------------- B----------------- G-8-8-89---------- D-7-7-77-9-97-7-67 A-7-7-77-5-55-5-55 D-7-7-77-5-55-4-44 The 7778 is the Aaug4 and so 7779 is the A, the 559 is the G, and the 457 is the D/F# The "chorus" part is really just D-A-D-E, just do power chords via the drop-D, that seems to be the easiest way to approach the song (otherwise you're gonna kill your fingers stretching them a whole lot). Pretty much only those two things for the whole song. Here's how it should look: Aaug4 A G I got a million things that I'd rather do D/F# A Aaug4 than to play rock and roll for you Aaug4 A G Oh honey if I blow you a fuse D/F# A can I please be excused? Aaug4 A G I gotta right myself today D/F# A Right myself for you Aaug4 A G Oh we haven't even been introduced D/F# A so that'll never do Oh I know a lot of other people could be standing here instead of me Singing their own sweet lies between clenched and cracking teeth I gotta right myself today Right myself for you Oh honey if I tell you the truth that'll never do D A Oh no, honey, let's not get carried away D E Oh no, honey, let's not get carried away Solo (verse chords) There's a lot of other places to be a lot of things that I'd rather be doing A lot of songs that I'd like to sing but I know that you would just ruin it I gotta right myself today Right myself for you Oh we haven't even been introduced Oh, let's not get carried away Oh no, honey, let's not get carried away I said oh, no, honey, let's not get carried away Oh no, honey, let's not get carried away Solo (verse chords again, then DRUM SOLO!!!!!) I gotta right myself today Right myself for you Hope it helps, sorry about the, uh, two month delay. -e. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
upnorth Posted February 16, 2010 Author Share Posted February 16, 2010 Yeah! Thanks I'll have to give it a whirl and see if my son is still interested. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
