Note for sections denoted with an asterisk (*):
As the chords alternate between C and Am, shift your index finger up to the 1st string to get
the same note pattern from the riff. I found this was really helpful when strumming so that you don't
have to fingerpick the entire song but still hold the integrity of the original.
The given strumming pattern demonstrates the riff integrated into strumming. The accents mimic the given
riff below. For the third and fourth accents, the index finger moves up a fret.
[Intro] (*)
I'm sleepy
Ahh, ah
h
[Verse 1] (*)
Three deep breaths
Ten steps backwards
Going backwards
Now I'm switchin' lanes
Tire marks
On my heart
It don't beat the

heart
Dry your teary
eyes

[Chorus 1] (*)
'Cause, baby, I was
born tired
Getting

Way, way

So

It's been a l

Long life, long time f

And look at all

Look at who

Baby, you
gotta keep going, ooh-o
