Good song from Everlast, easy to play. This is the first song I've
tabbed in a long time, hope you like it.
INTRO:
------
G Bb A F
E|--------3--------------6--------------5--------------1---------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------|
D|----------5--------------8--------------7--------------3-------|
A|----5--------------8--------------7--------------3-------------|
E|--3---3------3-0-6---6------6-3-5---5------5-0-1---1------1-0--|
Play that twice.
There's just this chord progression running through the
song. It's a little different in the BRIDGE and he stops
suddenly in one or two places but basically it's just this:
G Bb A F
E|--3----3--x-x-x-6-6--6--x-x-5----5--x-x-x-1-1--1--x-x--|
B|--3----3--x-x-x-6-6--6--x-x-5----5--x-x-x-1-1--1--x-x--|
G|--4----4--x-x-x-7-7--7--x-x-6----6--x-x-x-2-2--2--x-x--|
D|--5----5--x-x-x-8-8--8--x-x-7----7--x-x-x-3-3--3--x-x--|
A|--5----5--x-x-x-8-8--8--x-x-7----7--x-x-x-3-3--3--x-x--|
E|--3----3--x-x-x-6-6--6--x-x-5----5--x-x-x-1-1--1--x-x--|
This is not exact but something like that. x = muted note
VERSE:
------
G Bb
They call me white devil, black Jesus,
A F
Heaven closes, hell freezes,
G Bb
Ego's trippin', scripts keep flippin'
A F
Bloods keep bloodin', crips keep crippin'
[Play the same chords for the rest of the song
except the BRIDGE.]
Time keeps slippin' and I keep fallin'
I can't see but I hear them callin',
Ballers ballin', players playin',
Haters fightin', righteous praying
Dawn breaking, Manhattan keeps making,
Brooklyn keeps takin' shook ones keep shakin',
No time for fakin', know what I mean
I ain't choppin' no pies, just risin' like cream
If you're digging the scene, if you feelin' the vibes,
Throw your hands in the air, scream out you're alive,
Singin' na na nana na na na
Singin' na na nana na na na
G Bb
Singin' na na nana na na na
A [stop]
Singin' na na nana na na na
[begin same chords again]
They call me, Black Jesus, white Moses,
Heaven freezes, hell closes
B.Boy poses and punk rock chicks,
The kids are all right but I need my fix
If you're diggin' the mix, if you're feelin' the drugs
If you're keepin' it real, if you're livin' like thugs,
I spit kisses and hugs like .45 slugs
Come back on the one and kiss my love gun
Gotta look that will kill, a voice that will carry,
Half a dozen women I think I wanna marry,
Trouble on my mind, I'm refusin' to lose
Still I've gotta find someone to abuse
G Bb
So won't you run spread the news, help say the word
A [stop]
And jump the fuck back and act like you heard
[begin same chords again]
They call me white devil, black Jesus,
Heaven closes, hell freezes,
Black Jesus, White Moses,
Heaven freezes, Hell closes,
Singin' na na nana na na
Singin' na na nana na na
Singin' na na nana na na
Singin' na na nana na na
Singin'
BRIDGE:
-------
G F
Waah, wa wa wa waaah
G F
Shoobydoo waah, wa wa wa waaah
[and now begin the regular chords again]
They call me white sinner, black martyr,
Live wire, fire starter,
Jungle brother, red neck cracker,
Freak of nature, new world slacker,
Sex junkie lookin' for a dealer
You can play the leaper girl and I can play the healer
G Bb
Shit is only getting realer baby haven't you heard
A [stop]
that the bird, bird, bird, yes the bird is the word
[...and start again same chords]
They go one for the trouble, two for the time,
Three for my homies, and four for the dimes,
Singin' lemons to the lime till the break of dawn
Excuse me (every six minutes), Everlast you're on,
And they go on and on, like a rolling stone,
Baby anywhere I lay my hat is my home
They call me white devil, black Jesus,
Heaven closes, hell freezes,
Black Jesus, white Moses,
Heaven freezes, hell closes,
Singin' na na nana na na
Singin' na na nana na na
Singin' na na nana na na
Singin' na na nana na na
[Keep singin 'na na na' for a LONG time and fade out...]
