The opening "riff" is just the F# chord (2nd fret position) with loads of
reverb, another way to get that "wavy" feeling from just playing the one
chord is to position your hand to play the F# as I've shown you above,
except hammer on the first-finger barre on the 2nd fret to begin the riff
(^ = downstroke, v = upstroke):
F# ^ v ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ do this twice; the second time the lead guitarist
e|-----2-2-2-2-2-2-2-| (on tour, Johnny) plays:
B|-----2-2-2-2-2-2-2-| (4/5\4) just before the rhythm guitarist
G|-3---3-3-3-3-3-4-3-| (on tour, Craig Gannon) plays the next chords
D|-4---4-4-4-4-2-2-2-|
A|-4---4-4-4-4-4-4-4-|
E|-0(h)2-2-2-2-2-2-2-|
Intro
Verse 1
I am the son and the heir
Of a shyness that is criminally
vulgar
I am the son and heir
Of nothing in particular
Chorus
You shut your mouth, how can you
say
I go about things the wrong way
?
I am Human and I need to be
loved
Just like everybody else does
Interlude
Verse 2
I am the son and the heir
Of a shyness that is criminally
vulgar
I am the son and heir
Oh, of nothing in particular
Chorus
You shut your mouth, how can you
say
I go about things the wrong way
?
I am Human and I need to be
loved
Just like everybody else does
Interlude
Bridge
There's a club if you'd like to
go
You could meet somebody who
really loves you
So you go, and you stand on your
own
And you leave on your own
And you go home, and you cry
And you want to die
Interlude
Bridge
When you say it's gonna happen
"now"
Well, when exactly do you mean?
See I've already waited too long
And all my hope is gone
Solo
Chorus
You shut your mouth, how can you
say
I go about things the wrong way
?
I am Human and I need to be
loved
Just like everybody else does
Outro
