(Quick drum fill, then into intro)
Intro:
Note: I always thought that this was just a straightforward
F#5 strumming, however, upon closer listen, you can
clearly hear the changes from 244xxx to 044xxx
When playing, try to focus on strumming the E and A
strings more. You may want to just play the chords as
24xxxx and 04xxxx
Note 2: Listen to the recording to get how this is played
I prefer all downstrum, but you may play whatever way you wish
(Played fast)

(Play 4 times and lead into Verse)
Verse:
(* = After chord is played, 3 muted harmonics are played quickly between
To do this, move your pointer finger from the 2nd to 3rd fret;
lightly touching the E string and strum away. You'll hear the same
sound as on the recording).
F#5* F#5*
I wanna feel, I wanna try
F#5* F#5 E5II F#5 E5II
I wanna rock in the city tonight
F#5* F#5*
I wanna deal, don't wanna die
F#5* F#5 E5II F#5 E5II F#5
I wanna bring my Captain Hook into the light
Pre-chorus:
(Bass only)
People I've seen my day, ranting and raving this beauty away
We are by and large the same, but words are too feeble, they cannot contain
Chorus 1:
*F#5 E5 D5 B5
He was a rock 'n roll Messiah
[A5]She was [D5]known for her [E5]childcare
*F#5 E5 D5 B5
Truth is gonna give up the World
If [A5]you can g[D5]ive up the s[E5]tage
The [E5]stage, the [E5]stage..... Come on!
(Repeat Verse)
(Repeat Pre-chorus)
Chorus 2:
*F#5 E5 D5 B5
He was a rock and roll Messiah
[A5]She was [D5]known for her [E5]childcare
*F#5 E5 D5 B5
Truth is gonna give up the World
If [A5]you can g[D5]ive up the s[E5]tage
If [A5]I can g[D5]ive up the s[E5]tage
If [A5]we can g[D5]ive up the s[E5]tage
Bridge:
[C#5] [A5] [E5] [D#5]
[C#5] [A5] [E5] [D#5]
[G#5] Come [A5]to this,[E5] I can't [A5]come to you
[C#5] Don't do [A5]this, [E5]wake me [D#5]up tonight
[G#5] Come [A5]to this,[E5] I can't [A5]come to you
[C#5] Don't do [A5]this, [E5]wake me [A5]up to...
[D5]night. To[D5]night, to[D5]night.[D5]..
(strum F#5 once and hold into solo)
Solo:
Note: This was difficult to make out on the recording,
so it is more than likely not 100%. Just fool around with
it and you will come close. Or you can always improvise
if you're good. :)
(Guitar 2 plays Intro Part as rhythm backing)
