Laughter

From: * (White, Jared Conway)

Adventures of..." 1978).

Since tabbing this piece i have come
 to think that it may _possibly_ be 
in
open C.  However, it works perfectly
 well in dropped-D, too.  The only
difficulty is in the chorus section:
 for the first chord shape, you need
 to
barre the E,A & D strings at the 2nd
 fret with your first finger, while
keeping the G string open AND 
fretting the B and e strings at 3 
and 5
respectively.  If that's just 
ridiculous, then ignore the open G 
string
and play a straight barre chord.

I haven't included timing marks: I 
figure you'd have to know the song 
to
want to try and play it anyway.  
Note that Bruce modifies the verse 
section
a couple of times to get a more 
arpeggiated, sustained feel (eg the 
verse
about nuclear good-time boys).  For 
this you can use the same 
fingerings,
just change the style.

That reminds me... i have one 
question about the lyrics of the 
song that
you may be able to help with:
Here's to the sun 
_______________????
Through a thermal inversion haze
Here's to the nuclear good time boys
Numbering all our days...

Comments, corrections welcome (nay, 
encouraged!).  Thanks to Andrew
