Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

This is played by an accordin or violin, can't tell but the tab follows.

(The 023 notes are a quick hammer on.)

During the verses, C and G are open chords, then the F G combo are each barre

chords on the first and third frets, respectively.

A million poets

Screamin' out their words

 To a world full of people

 Just livin' to be heard

Future generations

 Ridin' on the highways that we built

 I hope they have better understanding

 Check it out

 Goin' to work on Monday

 Check it out

 Got yourself a family

 Check it out

 All utility bills have been paid

 You can't tell your best buddy that you love him

 So check it out

 Where does our time go

 Check it out

 Got a brand new house in escrow

 Check it out

 Sleepin' with your back to your loved one

 This is all that we've learned about happiness

Intro

 Check it out

 Forgot to say hello to my neighbors

 Check it out

 Sometimes I question my own behavior

 Check it out

 Talkin' about the girls that we've seen on the sly

 Just to tell our souls that we're still the young lions

 So check it out

 Gettin' too drunk on Saturdays

 Check it out

 Playin football with the kids on Sundays

 Check it out

 Soarin' with eagles all week long

 And this is all that we've learned about living

 This is all that we've learned about living

Lead Guitar (nearly the same as the intro, but with the change noted)

Then, jam with the following chords

Barre C (3rd fret) Barre G (3rd fret)

A million your poets

Screamin' out their words

Maybe someday

 Those words will be heard

 By future generations

 Ridin' on the highways that we built

Maybe they'll have a better understanding

 Check it out

 Hope they'll have a better understanding

 Check it out

 Maybe they'll have a better understanding

 Check it out

 Maybe they'll have a better understanding

 Check it out

 Hope they will have a better understanding
