Behind Blue Eyes Tab

by Who


Here's my version of the Who's "Behind Blue Eyes" I've given the chord structures & 
-- just listen to the song and put them where they
need to go.  I've used SUS chords in place of many Major or Minor chords because it 
the 3rd (I like the sound). However, you can replace
my SUS chords with either Major or Minor chord (you'll just need to see
what works for you).  This original version has dedicated Major or Minor
chords - this is my interpretation, and I've left it open for you.

[Intro]   /  /  / / / /

No one knows what it's like   [] [] [] [Dsus] [] []
to be the bad man
to be the sad man
behind blue eyes

No one knows what it's like  [] [] [] [] [] []
to be hated
to be fated
to telling only lies
--------------------------------------------------
But my dreams   [] [] []
they aren't as empty
as my conscience seems to be  [] [] []

I have hours, only lonely  [] [] [] []
my love is vengeance
thats never free
---------------------------------------------------
No one knows what it's like  [] [] [] [] [] []
to feel these feelings
like I do
and I blame you

No one bites back as hard    [] [] [] [] []
on their anger
none of my pain and woe
can show through
----------------------------------------------------
But my dreams   [] [] []
they aren't as empty
as my conscience seems to be  [] [] []

I have hours, only lonely  [] [] [] []
my love is vengeance
thats never free
----------------------------------------------------
[Bridge]   /  /  /
When my fist clenches, crack it open [] [] []
Before I use it and loose my cool  [] [] [] []
When I smile, tell me some bad news  [] [] []
Before I laugh and act like a fool  [] [] [] [] []
And if I swallow anything evil  [] [] []
Put your finger down my throat   [] [] [] []
And if I shiver, please give me a blanket [] [] []
Keep me warm, let me wear your coat  [] [] [] [] []
[] [] [] []  (x3)
[](hold)
----------------------------------------------------
No one knows what it's like   [] [] [] [] [] []
to be the bad man
to be the sad man
behind blue eyes
