Off He Goes
From: jeremy keehn
ok, this one's not too tough... basically three chords, though there are
some nice variations you can throw in if you want- i added in a
G/F-Asus2-Am pattern that can just be left as F-C-Am if you prefer...
and instead of playing Fs, you can play Csus4 (11033x)... that sounds
pretty good, too.

Know a man... His face pulled and tense...
F C G/F Asus2 Am
Like he's riding on a motorbike... in the strongest winds
F C F C
So I approach with tact... suggest that he should relax
F C G/F F
But he's always moving much too fast
Am Asus2 Am Asus2 Am
Said he'll see me on the flipside... of this trip he's taken for a ride
F C F C F C
He's been takin'... too much on... off he goes
F C G/F Asus2 Am F C
with his perfectly un--kept clothes... there he goes

He's yet to come back... but I see his picture
F C F C Am F C
Doesn't look the same up on the rack... we go way back
F Am Asus2 Am Asus2 Am
I wonder 'bout his insides... it's like his thoughts are too big for his size
F C F C F C
He's been taken... Where? I don't know... off he goes
F C G/F Asus2 Am F C
with his perfectly un--kept hope... there he goes
[repeat chorus riff]
F C F C
And now I rub my eyes... for he has returned
F C F C G/F Asus2 Am
Seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned
F C
For he still smiles... and he's still smiling
F C F C G/F Asus2 Am
Nothing's changed but the surrounding bullshit... that has grown
F C F C
And now he's home and we're laughing
F C F C Am
Like we always did... my same old... same old friend
F C F C
Until a quarter to ten... I saw the strain creep in
F C F C G/F Asus2 Am
He seemed distracted and I know just what is going to hap-pen next
F C F C
Before his first step... he is off again

G|-------2-2-0-0-
D|-----3---3-2-2-

Then the rest of the song is basically just a combination
or F, C and Am chords. A classic "3 chord"-er.
There's also this little bit, or something similar.

Lyrics:Verse
C F C F Am
Know a man His face seems pulled and tense
F C F C F C Am
like hes riding on a motorbike in the strongest winds
F C F C
So I approach with tact suggest he should relax
Am F G F
but hes always moving much too fast
(at the end of the verse there is no chord but try C for fun)
Chorus 1
Am Intro picking Am
Said hell see me on the flip side of his trip hes taken for a ride
Intro picking F C F C F C
hes been taken too much on off he goes
F C Am F C
with his perfectly unkept clothes there he goes
Verse 2( same chords as in verse 1 I think)
Hes yet to come back but I see his picture
doesn't look the same up on the rack we go way back
Chorus 2( chords are same as chorus 1)
I wonder bout his insides its like his thoughts are too big for his size
hes been take where? T don't know off he goes
withe his perefectly unkept hope there he goes
and now I rub my eyes for he has returned
seems my preconception are what should have been burned
for he still smiles and hes still strong
nothing's chaned but the surronding bullshit that has grown
And now hes home and were laughing
like we always did my same old same old friend
Until a quarter to ten i see the strain creep in
He seems ditacted and i know just what going to happen next
before his first step he is off again
I havent done the rest because it repeats itself i think.Comments e-mail me at.
