Drop D

Intro

Gtr. 1

Verse

Chorus

Outro

That's the basic song structure. Now, here's the lyrics w/the chords. I tried my best to line up the chords with the exact part of the word, but it's not entirely accurate

 I knew a man with a son

bought him a gun

 he learned shorty just how to use it

 taught him huntin' and skinin'

right from the beginin'

 built himself a mighty fine killer (killer)

 but shorty got picked on

beat on and kicked on

 and all his classmates wanted to punk him

 so with tears in his eye

and the catcher in the rye

 and he told his old man he went huntin' (huntin')

 he never felt so free

like his destiny

 lay somewhere out on the horizon

 it's hard when you're cold

he felt a hundred years old

  & &

and started pulling back on the trigger

Chorus

Gtr. 1 & Gtr. 2

Think I'm gonna die today

Everyone that hurt me's gonna pay

How could such a short time feel so long?

How could such a young life go so wrong?

Bridge

Gtr. 1: strum Em 4 times.

After that, Gtr. 2 hit (hard) the low D string 3 times. Then to verse 2

Verse 2

Gtr. 1

See me hear me

 but don't touch me, you should fear me

 cuz I'm clearly... cuz I'm seriously distrubed

 that's my word

 don't wake my mother

just wake my brother

 cuz i found another who want to play sucker

 and I ain't the one

who put shade in your sun

 and took all your shine... watch me get mine

 feel how it burns

to pay for my sins

 watch the world turn

 inside the beginin'

 losses and wins

angels and demons

 dancin' on top of the head of a pin

 don't know where I'm goin'

but I know where I been

 Can't hear a sound, clap me for pound

 I came to get down

I came to get dirty

  & &

I came to get even (even, even even)

Chorus

Outro

Gtr. 1

Gtr. 2 (clean)

Please mama don't cry

Please mama don't cry

Please mama don't cry you did nothing wrong

repeat w/o lyrics 1 time. End on F.

Notes:

I couldn't find the exact lyrics, so I did the best by ear. If anyone knows the real lyrics, drop me a line.

During the chorus, on Gtr. 1, instead of just going from Am to C, it sounds better if you go Am, C/B, C, hitting C/B for one beat. Listen to the song to get the timing on that right.

For Gtr. 2, I know you can play an A chord with the base note on the A string, but you need to get the slide up to the C, then back down to the G and F. So start at the 7th fret, slide to the 10th, then slide down to the 5th, then the 3rd. It sounds weird at first, but that's the way it is on the CD.

Gtr. 2: distortion. Everlast uses what I like to call the "NIN Fuzz" on this song. What I mean by "NIN Fuzz" is a heavy distortion, but with low tone quality. If you have amp distortion, I recomend using that with either your neck pickup or using both neck and bridge pickups, and your tone knob either all the way, or halfway down. If you're using a pedal, just put the distortion down to about half, turn the tone down about 2/3rds of the way, and turn up the volume, since doing this takes you down a lot. Or you can use mild distortion with a fuzz pedal, or distortion with a phaser pedal, with the phase about halfway. I just use the amp distortion method.

For the outro, there's still distortion, but not enough for it to be palm muted. So I recomend either just palm muting Gtr. 2, or just playing Gtr. 2 clean.
