The Offspring – The Kids Aren’t Alright
This is more like an acoustic version, so there would pretty much be no point Palm Muting…
but what ever, i think a little bit of it is wrong, but i really can’t be arsed !!
P.m…
Bbm
When we were young the future was so bright
F#
The old neighborhood was so alive
C#
And every kid on the whole damn street
G#
Was gonna make it big and not be beat
Now the neighborhood’s cracked and torn
The kids are grown up, but their lives are worn
How can one little street
Swallow so many lives
Same chords but open, not P.m…
Chances thrown, nothing’s free
Longing for what used to be
Still it’s hard, hard to see
Fragile lives, shattered dreams
Then back to same chords again
Jamie had a chance, well she really did
Instead she dropped out and had a couple of kids
Mark still lives at home cause he’s got no job
He just plays guitar and smokes a lot of pot
Jay committed suicide
Brandon OD’d and died
What the hell is going on?
The cruelest dream, reality
Oh look the chorus again…
Chances thrown, nothing’s free
Longing for what used to be
Still it’s hard, hard to see
Fragile lives, shattered dreams
*Solo*
Chances thrown, nothing’s free
Longing for what used to be
Still it’s hard, hard to see
Fragile lives, shattered dreams
Piss god damn easy, just listen to the song for timing, and work out into power chords,
there ya’s go kids!!
