This is a great ska song by Rancid off of their latest album. I can't wait till their new CD is released this spring! Anyway, here it is: Verse: (repeated) G F C G [E---3---1---3---3--- B---3---1---5---3--- G---4---2---5---4--- D---5---3---5---5--- A------------------- E-------------------] Chorus: One guitar plays the chords, barred, and the lead guitar plays the riff. I believe the timing's right: C F G [E----------------------------------- B-----------------1-3b-3b-3s1------- G---0---0---0---3-------------3-0--- D----------------------------------- A----------------------------------- E-----------------------------------] Solo: (2x) [E------------------------------------ B-----3--3-3-3-3-2------1------------ G-------------------2-2---2-2-2-2-0-- D--0--------------------------------- A------------------------------------ E------------------------------------] Bridge: C F G C F G [E---3---1---3-----3---1---3-------------------------- B---5---1---3-----5---1---3-------------------------- G---5---2---4-----5---2---4---5---------------------- D---5---3---5-----5---3---5---5--3--5---3-3---5--3--- A-----------------------------3--3--5---3-3---5--3--- E--------------------------------1--3---1-1---3--1---] C F G F F G F Order: Verse Chorus Verse Chorus Solo Bridge Chorus Lyrics: Verse: He was an artist and a writer and a poet and a friend. In a man's life he will take a fall, but how low he goes, that just depends. He's shooting dope in the men's room at the station, daly city train. Have you ever seen an angel? Well I know I have. They'll stay here for a while then they fly away. Chorus: Jackyl had a beer in his hand last time I seen him. When he rolled the dice you know he never thought twice, never thought twice about being here. Verse: Some grow up, and some grow old. But what about the kid who never learned the rules. Spent all these years on earth, when you look back, it's just a flicker of time. He was one of the ones that was already saved through all. Through all this evil and wreckage, he maintained a sense of himself. Chorus Solo Bridge: Some men are in prison even though they walk the streets at night. Other men who got the lockdown are free as a bird in flight. Chorus That's it!
