Half Right

E|E|----|| 

You want to start out the song 
picking the G and B strings, B 
first, playing an Em7.
Listen to the recording and this 
should be pretty easy to
figure out. On the 11th beat, start 
picking the D string, too. Again,
listen to the song and this will be 
easy to figure out.
Go for 5 more beats and
then switch to A and add in the A 
string. Again, use either version
(the acoustic Smith one or the 
Heatmiser one) for reference here.
Then finally hit C and keep doing 
the same thing.

When I'm about to go into the first 
verse, I always briefly hold down
the third fret of the high E to get 
that sound you hear Elliott playing
at the same point in the Heatmiser 
version. I have no idea what
he actually does in the song, but 
any little lick you can think of
should sound good.

After this, you repeat it again. If 
you're playing
with a full band, (drums, bass, 
etc.) this is where everything
else except vocals should come in as
 evident in the recording.
When I play the song alone I skip 
the repeat and play G, A,
and C instead.

Now, the chords:

G                            
   Well, you shouldn't talk to 
        Em7
yourself
                             A
Well, I pictured somebody else
                        C
Someone that looks like

What I look like

G                              
  Would you say that one of your 
      Em7
dreams
                                 A
Got in you and ripped out the seams?
                    C
That's what I'd say

That's what I'd say

[Break]
G Em7 A C

G                        
  He was a sucker for your 
          Em7
double-dose
                                 A
Motherfucker turned white as a ghost
                C
Don't you say hi

Don't you say hi

G                           Em7
  With a broken sink for a face
                                A
And a head that just takes up space
                 C
He's not half right

He's not half right

Dsus2         Em
It's already half past
A7sus4        Cadd9
And it won't last

*intro picking*

G                            Em7
  I was sticking up for my friend
                                A
When there's nothing much to defend
               C
It's a lost fight

It's a lost fight

G                                 
  'Cause when I talk to you on the
   Em7
 phone
                             A
Well, it's just like being alone
                 C
It's not half right

It's not half right

(Repeat the intro to end.)
