i learned this a while ago from watching the
"listener supported" video, trying to catch
all the angles and whatnot.  it takes (took)
some getting used to, but i learned to
really like dave's fingering on this.
i think this way, the way i still play it, is
with the same fingering that i saw in the
video, but the last part mite be a tad bit
off.  so, try this out, if you hate it, do
whatever's comfortable for you.
also, you'll find that you're plucking the
5th fret of the D string a couple times and
that that's the same as the open G string.
you can turn that information into whatever
you'd like, i just wanted to share the way
i watched dave play it on the video.
hope it helps.  enjoy...


oh, for the chorus, i don't remember what
he did in the video, but i just use these
forms to play it:

e---x---x---x---x--
b---x---x---x---x--
g--(0)-(0)-(0)-(0)-
d---0---0---0---0--
a---x---3---x---x--
E---3---x---6---5--

where the (0) indicates optional use of
the open G string.  real simple like.

also (i'm not sure where i found this)
but here's a nice chord to end on:

Eadgbe
353335

it's some sort of Gm7.  sounds not bad methinks.

Oh well oh well so here we stand
But we stand for nothing
My heart calls to me in my sleep
How can I turn to it
'Cause I'm all locked up in this
Dark place -
And I do not know
I'm as good as dead
My head aches -
Warped and tied up
I need to kill this pain

My head won't leave my head alone
And I don't believe it will
Until I'm dead and gone
My head won't leave my head alone
And I don't believe it will
Until I'm six feet underground

How long I'm tied up
My mind in knots -
My stomach reels
In concern for what I might do or
What I've don
It's got me living in fear
Well I know these voices must
Be my soul
I've had enough I've had enough of being alone
I've got no place to go

My head won't leave my head alone
And I don't believe it will
Until I'm dead and gone
My head won't leave my head alone
And I don't believe it will
Until I'm six feet under ground

Six feet under
In y grave
Lying wired and shut and quiet in my grave
Leave me here
Leave me here to waste here
So young and here I am again
Talking to myself
A T.V. blares
Oh man
Oh how I wish I didn't smoke
Or drink to reason with my head

But sometimes this thick confusion
Grows until I cannot bear it at all
Needle to the vein
Needle to the vein
Take this needle from my vein my friend
I said

My head won't leave my head alone
And I don't believe it will
Until I'm dead and gone
My head won't leave my head alone
And I don't believe it will
Until I'm dead and gone

In my grave
Lying
Lying cold in my grave
The reason -
My reason
Take my head off this terror
The fearing won't come back
I can't see
My mind's all wiped clean
The needle
Make my great escape
I seem caught in time
My head leaves me behind
Body fall cold
And I see heaven
