 "Own True Way"(Doyle/McCann/Trapper)
  From "Sea of No Cares"


  
  Capo fifth fret, and the best way to replicate the recurring melody on
  your guitar is to (surprise!)mess about with the D shape, using hammer-ons 
  to create the Sus4,sus2 and 5th shapes. 

  
  Intro: D D Dsus4|D Dsus2 D|D D Dsus4|D Dsus2 D|D5 D D|D Dsus2|Dsus4 D      

    D
 It takes a lot to get to the top
       G
 And a little just to fall off quick
       A                          D
 And I think I've seen you here before

 Sometimes you fly so high
 So fast it makes you sick
 You won the battle lost the war
 
 pre-chorus:
 
        Em               D
 But I don't mind if you say
 G
 Every time you talk to me
 A
 Every time we talk

 Chorus:
    D        A
 We came, we saw
    G             D
 We conquered and crumbled
 Bm     A        G
 In our own true way
    D         A
 We loved, we fought
    G             D
 We rocked and we tumbled
 Bm     A        D
 In our own true way

 Intro 

 Well I believe in brotherhood
 And the good of all mankind
 Though I admit it's hard to find

 But if you want to talk just come and knock
 It don't matter what the time
 Solitude is no friend of mine

 And I don't mind if you say
 Every time you talk to me
 Every time we talk

[Chorus]

 I don't mind
 It's hard to be from a rock in the sea
 Livin' in a big steel town
 Finding unfamiliar faces all around

 You heard 'em tell stupid jokes
 You heard 'em laugh everytime you spoke
 But you don't let nobody put you down

 But I don't mind if you say
 Every time you talk to me
 Every time you talk to me
 Every time we talk

 Chorus, intro with ad lib:
 
 In our own true way...
 And I don't mind...
 If you say...
