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
