You May Be Right

                From the album GLASS
 HOUSES (1980)

This is definitely a two guitar 
song, but

THE MAIN RIFF:

     A

E ---------3-2---0------3-2---0---
B -------------3------------3-----
G ---2---2------------2-----------
D --------------------------------
A --------------------------------
E --------------------------------
E|--3-2---0-----3-2---0---------| 
B|------3-----------3-----------| 
G|2-----------2-----------------| 
D|------------------------------| 
A|------------------------------| 
E|------------------------------| 

The chord playing underneath is the 
song's key -- A -- but the
above riff is most comfortably 
fretted as an open D and then
single-note picked.  It's sort of a 
combination of a D and an
A7sus:

     D              A7sus

E ---2--------------3-------------
B ---3--------------3-------------
G ---2--------------2-------------
D ---0--------------2-------------
A --------------------------------
E --------------------------------

Try it, and I think it will be 
clearer than my explanation.

VERSE 1
A
Friday night I trashed your party  
Saturday I said I'm sorry

                               E7
Sunday came and trashed me out again

      Bm                     G
I was only having fun wasn't hurting
 anyone

       E                           
And we all enjoyed the weekend for 
  A

VERSE 2
I was stranded in the combat zone, I
 walked through Bedford Stuy
     alone
Even rode my motorcycle in the rain
And you told me not to drive, but I 
made it home alive
So you said that only proves that 
I'm insane

You may be wrong for all I know 
             A
but you may be right

VERSE 3
Oh, remember how I found you there
Alone in your electric chair
I told you dirty jokes until you 
smiled
You were lonely for a man, I said 
"Take me as I am"
'Cause you might enjoy some madness 
for a while

VERSE 4
Now think of all the years you tried
 to find someone to satisfy
     you
I might be as crazy as you say
If I'm crazy then it's true that 
it's all because of you
And you wouldn't want it any other 
way

                        ** SOLO 
NOTES **

The first line is Chuck Berry 
flavored, like the opening to many
of his songs.  In the second line, 
the whole step bend on the
12th fret on the B string [12b(14)] 
is tricky; I often cheat it
and actually do a half step bend 
from the 13th fret [making it
13b(14)] because there's more room 
for your fingers, and if you
play it correctly, nobody but you 
will know the difference.
Also, in the third line, the 
G-string bend is a bitch, but it
apparently really is what he's 
playing, and it's a nice slow
bend; a little practice and you 
should be able to do it
perfectly.
