Play this song fast, and impress people.  It has a great sound to it, and is
one of the
few basslines I've seen that stands alone without accompaniment.
 
....  oh... the "h"s mean "hammer on".   Play with a pick.

INTRO
 
CHORUS
   Good morning heartache your like an old friend
   come and see me again
   Good morning heartache your like an old friend
   come and see me again
 
VERSE
   Wake up, you're in Cleveland again
   a solid line that never ends
   I've got stories that you'll never believe
   and I know it, I wear it, I wear it on my sleeve
 
VERSE II
   There must have been something about you that I liked
   but here in the rain you know it just don't seem right.
   I always go out, I never hide
   but in Cleveland, I should have stayed inside.
 
CHORUS
 
VERSE
    Testify my love for you and I know it runs deep
    thru your body too
    from the cold blacktop to the hot concrete
    the old tin van, it ain't so sweet.
 
CHORUS
 
BRIDGE
 
No Bass
   Somewhere in America through the city night
   we were far from home, but you know it's gonna be alright.
 
CHORUS Bass
 
VERSE
   Unfourtunate get prayed on my vulture eyes
   eighty six cents in these pockets of mine
   and you can take my money, you can take my time
   but you can't take my heart, it's in the city behind.
 
CHORUS
