(Guitar 2 Fill)
During "All them playgrounds where them kids don't get to play,"
this fill lands on the beat of the word "play."

x2
Some harmonics are played at the end, but I can't figure them out.


Chorus:
(Only ambient guitar is played here; so here are the approximate chords.)

    F             Dm             Am
These western concerns are all I ever really learned to be concerned with
                  Fmaj7     Dm
But don't you, don't you know it's hard feeling tired
   Am
Every time that you try
     F      Dm      Am
Ain't it hard feeling tired all the time

Transition with only drums and bass, same chords as verse if you want to play them:
  C
The family living upstairs must have a fleet of rider lawnmowers
    Am
And the novelist to my right's convinced that every woman's a whore

Solo:
This solo has 3 guitar parts overlapped. Guitar 1 is the most prominent,
Guitar 2 is fairly in the background, and Guitar 3 comes in on the 5th bar fairly loud.

This is repeated for a while over the chords until "I'm going to bury my head..."
(no guitar parts for the first set of Ahs)
F    Dm    C
Ah -  ah  -  ah

(Lightly strummed guitar, starting at the second set of "Ahs")
Simply ad-lib the rhythm, there's no real pattern here.

Outro:
The guitar from the verse is played again, along with the solo guitar. These are now repeated until
the ending Am chord on "all goin' apesh*t."

Take note that after playing this twice, the bass goes to an F and E in the bass
instead of a C and A. This doesn't change the guitar part but if you're working out
a solo version you should keep this in mind.

(Guitar 2)

  Go reckless, unharmed...
