I just cant get enough of this song when it comes on the radio! Its from Brads album Play which comes out November 4th, Im pretty freakin pumped for it.
I played it in Drop-D tuning (capo on 3rd fret) for those who might be wondering.I threw in the usual harmonies and a few guitar riffs. I didnt wanna take a stab at the solo in the middle as I cant play brads crazy parts so well haha.
*Lyrics*
I never was a straight laced straight A's student
Teacher's pet or child prodigy
I wasnt gonna get rich throwin a football
It'd take too long to get a law degree
So I sat down with momma and daddy
They tried to talk some sense into my thick head
But the best advice that I ever got was from my sisters rock star boyfriend
Just get you a guitar and learn how to play
Cut up some jeans, come up with a name
When youre livin in a world that you dont understand
Find a few good buddies, start a band
Start a band
Start a band
All those girls that were too cool to talk to you
They'll be waitin in a line out back
Might get your picture in a home town paper
Maybe buy your momma that Cadillac
Just get you a guitar and learn how to play
Cut up some jeans, come up with a name
When youre livin in a world that you dont understand
Find a few good buddies, start a band
Start a band
Start a band
Scrape up some money, buy a van
Learn free bird and rambling man
Never buy another beer again
(instrumental break)
So get you a guitar and learn how to play
Grow out your hair, come up with a name
With a little bit of luck you'll be packing the stands
Find a few good buddies, start a band
No need to study, start a band
Call up some buddies man and start a band
hey man where did you get the backup music and voice from?
