Song: Both Sides Now
Artist: Sammy Hagar and Jesse Harms
This is the 7th track off Sammy's latest (and best) solo effort, "Marching
to Mars". This is a great album, and Sam proves that life after VH is not
impossible, although he will be greatly missed. Anyway, this is a really
easy and fun song to play, just tune down a 1/2 step and get ready. Here
goes:
Intro riff (strumming):
, (all x2)
(listen to CD for strumming pattern)
Well there's another side to everything
D Intro riff x 2
connected like the ring around your finger
and I know this like I know myself
D Intro riff x 2
not very well yet I'm no stranger
Chorus:
but it won't be long
D G Intro riff x 2
cause I see Both Sides Now
Verse 2:
When nothin's gained then something's lost
D Intro riff x 2
pay half the price at twice...the cost
we're crystalized we stand alone
D Intro riff x 2
conviction holds like a stone
Chorus
Bridge:
G (I like to slap here) D
Yeah we gotta learn how to listen
(slap)
before we learn to talk
(slap)
we gotta learn to crawl
(slap)
before we learn to walk
(slap)
and if you want a little peace
(slap)
sometimes you gotta fight
G D Intro x 2
we gotta walk through darkness, alone, before we stand in the light
oh yeah
Chorus
Verse 3:
We're always somewhere in between
D Intro riff x 2
we never taste the sweet...extreme
and we're crystalized we stand alone
D Intro riff x 2
conviction holds us like a stone
Chorus
Bridge
Chorus
Bridge
Chorus...fade
-Way to go Sammy, another great song. Keep on rockin!
