The Great Unknown chords by Shawn Mullins

Title: The Great Unknown
Artist: Shawn Mullins
Album: My Stupid Heart
Transcribed by Scott Mayer

From a youtube clip of Shawn playing it live. Written by Shawn and Chuck Cannon.
Chuck plays it different to Shawn but both do it superbly.

Capo 1st Fret

A standard G can be used instead of the Gadd9 if desired. Still sounds sweet.

INTRO
C Fmaj9 x 3


C            Fmaj9   C   Fmaj9
It?s Friday night and I?m back again
C    Am        Gadd9 Fmaj7
With my old guitar and my trusty grin
   Gadd9             Am
And a best you don?t come in here sign
Fmaj7      Gadd9  C    Fmaj9   C   Fmaj9
Tattooed on this heart of mine

C            Fmaj9   C   Fmaj9
From a dirty brown shag carpet stage
C     Am     Gadd9  Fmaj7
I sing my songs and I pace the cage
Gadd9             Am
Stuck up here in the twilight zone
Fmaj7        Gadd9  C   Fmaj9  C   Fmaj9
Staring out into the great unknown

C              Fmaj9  C
There?s an old Hank Williams figurine
Am      Gadd9  F
Hanging by a guitar string
       Gadd9             Am
From the pull chain of the Pabst Blue Ribbon sign
Fmaj7             Gadd9   C   Fmaj9
With a clock that?s stopped on half past nine

C                Fmaj9    C
Yeah the time ain?t changed round here in years
Am    Gadd9    F
Same sad story, same old tears
Gadd9          Am
Ain?t nobody wants to be alone
Fmaj7      Gadd9  C   Fmaj9   C   Fmaj9
Out here in the great unknown

C            Fmaj9    C   Fmaj9
You can find the stool there at the bar
C      Am   Gadd9 Fmaj7
Designed to take you nowhere far
Gadd9                   Am
They got a mirror back behind the whiskey shelf
Fmaj7            Gadd9  C     Fmaj9
Where we don?t dare look back at ourselves

C            Fmaj9    C    Fmaj9
Just past the men?s room down the hall
C    Am        Gadd9 Fmaj7
Barely hanging there on a plaster wall
Gadd9            Am
A faded sticker on the old payphone
Fmaj7        Gadd9   C     Fmaj9   C   Fmaj9
Says welcome to the great unknown

C          Fmaj9   C    Fmaj9
It?s out beyond the yonder star
C  Am       Gadd9   Fmaj7
It?s all up in there where you are
Gadd9           Am
By some cosmic wind we?re blown
Fmaj7    Gadd9  C    Fmaj9    C   Fmaj9
Out into the great unknown

C          Fmaj9    C    Fmaj9
Hopes and dreams and ash and dust
C   Am       Gadd9 Fmaj7
It all seems to either rot or rust
Gadd9             Am
Souls wrapped in in flesh and bone
Fmaj7       Gadd9  C     Fmaj9
Heartbeats in the great unknown

C            Fmaj9   C
It?s Friday night and I?m back again
