Matchbox

from the album Lie to me
Chords: These chords go under the whole song and are played in
the following rhytem:
v v v v
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +
The 'v' means an upstroke. The order is the same as at
the riffs. You can either use 'open' or the barré-version.

G-------2---7-----0---4-----2---6------|
D-------0---7-----0---5-----2---7------|
A-----------5-----2---5-----0---7------|
E-----------------3---3---------5------|
Riffs: Actually this are not riffs. It's the bass walk. Under every
line you find the lyrics for the first verse.

Licks: Licks are small parts of a solo played by the lead guitar.
I didn't tab the other licks, just play what your
fingers want to do.

Lyrics:
(intro) > 12 bars
Yeah I'm tired of sighing
tired of worrying you too
but I made up my mind baby 12 bars
what I'm gonna do /
I got my clothes in a matchbox /
I'm gonna forget about you /
But I tried to tell you many times (lick 1)
but I never could do it (lick 2)
you believe me baby (lick 3) 12 bars
this time I'm through /
I got my clothes in a matchbox /
I'm gonna forget about you /
(1st solo) > 36 bars
Now when things get harder (lick 4)
yeah and rough on you
don't try to get me back now baby (lick 5) 12 bars
'cause baby I'm through (lick 6) /
I got my clothes in a matchbox /
gonna forget about you. /
(2nd solo) > 24 bars
