The shapes are the main thing - I've indicated roughly how many times each is strummed but this isn't 100% accurate. The same with the words - the changes should match up fairly well with the words but listen to the record to get the detail. / means slide INTRO: ------ D-----7---7-7--0----5---5--3---0-0---12--0---10---10--7----0---0-0----| A-----7---7-7--0----5---5--3---0-0---12--0---10---10--7----0---0-0----| F#----7---7-7--0----5---5--3---0-0---12--0---10---10--7----0---0-0----| D-----7---7-7--0----5---5--3---0-0---12--0---10---10--7----9---9-9----| A-----7---7-7--0----5---5--3---0-0---12--0---10---10--7----9---9-9----| D-----7---7-7--0----5---5--3---0-0---12--0---10---10--7----9---9-9----| D-----0---0-0---0--0----0-0-0-0-0--0-----5--3---0------------------| A-----0---0-0---0--0----0-0-0-0-0--0-----5--3---0------------------| F#--0-1---1-1---1--1/3--3-3-3-1-0--1-----5--3---0------------------| D---0-2---2-2---2--2/4--4-4-4-2-0--2-----5--3---0------------------| A---0-2---2-2---2------------------0-----5--3---0------------------| D---0-2---2-2---2------------------------5--3---0------------------| VERSE: ------ D-----7-------7--7----0----------5-----5------3------0-0---| A-----7-------7--7----0----------5-----5------3------0-0---| F#----7-------7--7----0----------5-----5------3------0-0---| D-----7-------7--7----0----------5-----5------3------0-0---| A-----0-------0--0----0----------5-----5------3------0-0---| D-----0-------0--0----0----------5-----5------3------0-0---| - All the people at this party they got a lot of style D------12--12----0----0-----10-------------10--10---| A------12--12----0----0-----10-------------10--10---| F#-----12--12----0----0-----10-------------10--10---| D------12--12----0----0-----10-------------10--10---| A------12--12----0----0-----10-------------10--10---| D------12--12----0----0-----10-------------10--10---| They got stamps of many countries they got passport smiles D----------0--------0---0---------------------0-----------------0----0----------| A----------0--------0---0---------------------0-----------------0----0----------| F#---------0--------0---0--------------0------1-----------------1----1----------| D----------9--------9---9--------------0------2-----------------2----2----------| A----------9--------9---9--------------0------2-----------------2----2----------| D----------9--------9---9--------------0------2-----------------2----2----------| Some are friendly, some are cutting, some are watching it from the wings D-----------0----0--0--0---0--0----------0----------0--0--------------| A-----------0----0--0--0---0--0----------0----------0--0--------------| F#----------1/3--3--3--3---1--0----------1----------1--1--------------| D-----------2/4--4--4--4---2--0----------2----------2--2--------------| A----------------------------------------0----------0--0--------------| D---------------------------------------------------------------------| Some are standing in the centre giving to get something The rest follows almost exactly the same pattern - the only real difference is at the end with the lines 'laughing it all away' : D---0-------0---0-----0--0-------0----0--0--------0---0-0-0-0-0--0----| A---0-------0---0-----0--0-------0----0--0--------0---0-0-0-0-0--0----| F#--1-------1---0-----0--0-------1----1--1--------1/3-3-3-3-1-0--1----| D---2-------2---9-----9--9-------2----2--2--------2/4-4-4-4-2-0--2----| A---0-------0---9-----9--9-------2----2--2-----------------------0----| D---------------9-----9--9-------2----2--2----------------------------| Laughing it all away - ay - ay - ay-ay-ay This repeats three times (I think) then it goes : D----5-----------3---0-----------| A----5-----------3---0-----------| F#---5-----------3---0-----------| D----5-----------3---0-----------| A----5-----------3---0-----------| D----5-----------3---0-----------| Laughing it all away That's all !
