Just heard this song for the first time on Limewire. It's off Aimee's forthcoming
album Smilers. Sounds like a really cool song and the chords were easy to tab so
I thought I'd post it up.
FREEWAY - Aimee Mann
Tune down half a step (d#,g#,c#,f#,a#,d#)
Chords used:
(x02220)
(022100)
(x24442)
(244222)
(x46654)
(xxo232)
(x=mute string)
INTRO:
- (x4)
VERSE 1:
You've got a lot of money but you can't afford the freeway
The road to orange County leaves an awful lot of leeway
Where everyone's a doctor or a specialist in retail
They'll sell you all the speed you want if you can take the black mail
PRE CHORUS:
You knew it, I know it, why don't you just show it?
CHORUS: (x2)
You've got a lot of money but you can't afford the freeway
VERSE 2:
You've got a lot of money but you cannot keep your bills paid
The sacrifice is worth it just to hang around the arcade
You found yourself a profit but you left him on the boardwalk
Another chocolate easter bunny hollowed out by your old talk
PRE CHORUS:
You knew it, I know it, why don't you just show it?
CHORUS: (x2)
You've got a lot of money but you can't afford the freeway
BRIDGE:
And everything I do is wrong, but at least I'm hanging on
OUTRO:
You've got a lot of money but you can't afford
You've got a lot of money but you can't afford
You've got a lot of money but you can't afford the freeway
You've got a lot of money but you can't afford the freeway
You've got a lot of money but you can't afford
You've got a lot of money but you can't afford
Repeat - 'til end.
That's it. If you can't be bothered tuning down half a step, or you want to use a
capo, then just play it in the corresponding key. But I'm sure these are the
right chord progressions.
Cheers!
