It's a Wonderful Lie Paul Westerberg
Finally figured out a right-sounding way to play this. A lot of tabs I've seen don't
work out, but this sounds good and looks like what Paul plays during live performances of
song. So here we go (I've seen him use a 12 string, though it works well enough on a 6-er)
Chords:
*when playing Dsus2, works to hammer on the E string to make D once in a while
[Asus4]Get up from a dream and I look for rain
[Dsus2]Take an amphetamine and a crushed rat brain
[F#m]How am I feeling? Better, I sup[Dsus2]pose
[Asus4]How am I looking, I don't want the truth
[Dsus2]What am I doin', I ain't in my youth
[F#m]I'm past my prime... or was that just a po[Dsus2]se?
[C#]It's a wonderful lie, I [Eb]still get by on [Dsus2]those
[Asus4]I've been accused of never opening up
[Dsus2]You get too close then I keep my mouth shut
[F#m]I'm gonna run to the wind where the big bad city bl[Dsus2]ows
[C#]It's a wonderful lie, I [Eb]still get by on [Dsus2]those
[C#]It's a wonderful lie, I [Eb]still get by on [Dsus2]those.
[Asus4]Well you can dress to the eights, you can dress to main
[Dsus2]Make you feel great, this fortune and fame
[F#m]Wearin' too much make-up... not near enough clo[Dsus2]thes
[C#]It's a wonderful lie, I [Eb]still get by on [Dsus2]those
[C#]It's a wonderful lie, I [Eb]still get by on [Dsus2]those.
[Asus4]So don't pin your hopes or pin your dreams
[Dsus2]On misanthropes or guys like me
[F#m]But the truth is overrated... I supp[Dsus2]ose
[C#]It's a wonderful lie, I [Eb]still get by on [Dsus2]those
[C#]It's a wonderful lie, I [Eb]still get by ...[Dsus2]
And that's it! In the studio version I believe there's an interlude in there somewhere,
the 2nd or 3rd verse, but I've seen Paul play it live without, so, do whatever you want.
first tab!
