 this is from "Freewheel," released in 1995 by Candy-Ass Records.
 Transcribed by me, Jennifer Starfish.
 every time a line leads off with G, right before it there's a hammer
 on/off on the low E, which means you play on low E: 0, 1, 0; and carry it
 straight into...
 
 G			   em
 let me put it to you this way:
 	    am				C		
 you will be hit by a truck and you will fall from your bicycle
 G                 em
 and no-one will recall
 am			  C
 who you were, except your friends and your enemies
 am	      em
   and all the stuff you could've written 
 am  		   em
   'bout times when you were sick, or smitten
 am            em         D        G
   will mean about as much as your corpse
 G			  em
 let me put it to you this way:
 am			    C
 I've been writing songs for almost 7 years now
 G			     em
  and I haven't said a single thing
    am		      C	
 of lasting import. or social significance 
 am		  em
   but I know from reading all your letters
 am	       em	
   and midnight coffee double-headers
 am	     em           D      G
   that maybe you could do better than me
 G			  em
 let me put it to you this way:
 	    am			       C	
 you will be hit by a bus, and you will die inside the ambulance
 G                  em
 and no-one will recall
 	am				  C
 who you are (or I mean WERE) except your friends and your relatives
 am	      em
   and all the stuff you could've written
 am	      em
   and all the words you could've hidden
 am	     em          D        G  
   will mean about as much as your corpse
 
 (ends on a G)
