Better Than It Was Fastball
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tuning: Standard
This is my first attempt at a proper TAB...here goes.
Notice that the chords are amazingly similar to those in 'Warm Fuzzy Feeling'
Suggested voicings:
A B D E5* F F#m
e-0--2--2--x--1--2-| B-2--4--3--x--1--2-| G-2--4--2--x--2--2-| D-2--4--4--2--3--4-| A-0--2--5--2--3--4-| E-0--2--2--0--1--2-|
*For E5, it's basically just hitting the E string with down strokes, but you can add more
[INTRO]
>>in the intro and chorus chords, there's a small theme that goes like this:
e-----------------------------------------------| B---2---2---3-2-0-2-0---------------------------| G---------------------2-------------------------| D-----------------------------------------------| A-----------------------------------------------| E-----------------------------------------------|
>>this might be played on a different guitar, but if you're playing solo,
>> try to play this with the chords in the chorus. Not too hard with the A chord, but
[in] [F#m]
[VERSE 1]
O[A]nce I had it all planned out
My d[B]irty fingers moved about
To m[D]ake a mess of [E]everything aro[A]und me[E5]
I[A] don't claim to know my way
I still r[B]un in circles every day
R[D]unning around half bl[E]ind
L[F]ife can be unk[E]ind
[CBORUS 1]
But it's better than it w[A]as
It's better than it [F#m]was
I compla[D]in very little bec[E]ause
It's better than it w[A]as[E5]
[VERSE 2]
I[A] get to remembering
We h[B]ad alot more money then
To m[D]ake a mess of [E]everything ar[A]ound us[E5]
N[A]ow the money comes and goes a bit
F[B]aster than my confidence grows
E[D]verybody kn[E]ows
There ain't no[F]thing new about m[E]oney woes
[CBORUS 2]
But it's better than it [A]was
It's better than it [F#m]was
It's better than it [D]was[E]
It's better than we e[F#m]ver could have
[E]Wished it to befo[A]re
[BRIDGE]
[F#m]It was bad a wh[E]ile ago
[F7]Better than this I kn[E]ow
[SOLO - timing is approximate]

[CBORUS - everytbing up a tone]
