Mad World Acoustic Tab

by Gary Jules


Here you go...a real easy song..just uses 4 chords : Am C G and D. The strumming pattern 
simple as well...down down down up down up or just down, down down up if you want. Or 
could pick the notes if you want, it sounds cool either way.

This is how I play the song, so I think it's pretty accurate. :) It is my first tab, and 
is meant for beginners like me, so the guitar pros - go easy on me!

                
All around me are familiar faces
	          
Worn out places – worn out faces
                          
Bright and early for their daily races
               
Going nowhere – going nowhere
                      
Their tears are filling up their glasses
             
No expression – no expression
                     
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
           
No tomorrow – no tomorrow

		                          
And I find it kinda funny, I find it kinda sad
                                                  
The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had
                                            
I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take
                  
When people run in circles it’s a very very
                        
            Maaaaaad world
                          
            Maaaaaaad world


                        
Children waiting for the day they feel good
               
Happy birthday – happy birthday
                        
Made to feel the way that every child should
               
 Sit and listen – sit and listen
                       
Went to school and I was very nervous
              
No one knew me – no one knew me
                     
Hello teacher tell me what’s my lesson

                     
Look right through me – look right through me

		                          
And I find it kinda funny, I find it kinda sad
             	                                     
The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had
                                            
I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take
                  
When people run in circles it’s a very very
                        
            Maaaaaad world
                
Enlarge your world
