Tuning: Standard Tuning (EADGBe)
Average man, very nice chord progression here. Fiddle around with the rhythm,
you’ll get it soon enough 🙂
Chords:
Bm Am Em F#5 D G
E|-2—0—0—x—2—3—
B|-3—1—0—x—3—0—
G|-4—2—0—x—2—0—
D|-4—2—2—4—0—0—
A|-2—0—2—4—0—2—
E|-2—x—0—2—x—3—
Please note: on the version of the cd you mostly only hear the lower notes of the
chords strummed. And dont get scared by the F#5 powerchord, I think a F#minor
also works in stead off the F#5 if you’re planning to play everything in bare.
But as i said you only hear the lower notes so the F#5 was more of an indication
of what strings to hit. I try to keep as much open chords in my playing as possible though 🙂
Intro:
Bm Am Em F#5 x 2
Verse 1:
Bm Am
If i was a farmer
Em F#5
Instead of a faker
Bm Am
If i was a realer
Em F#5
and not just some raker
Bm Am
Raking through a memory
Em F#5
that doesn’t belong to me
Bm Am
Just someone I could of been
Em F#5
if only i kept walking…
Chorus:
D G
Have another drink my son
D G
Enjoy another cigarette
D G
‘Cos it’s time you realised…
Em Bm
you’re just an average man…
Verse 2:
Bm Am
Alone on a motorway
Em F#5
you catch you’re breath
Bm Am
Cat’s eyes lead everyway
Em F#5
to lonesomness
Bm Am
Since you learn to hide your fears
Em F#5
and downsize your dreams
Bm Am
Still alive, still sincere
Em F#5
inside the scheme…
Chorus:
D G
Have another drink my son
D G
Enjoy another cigarette
D G
‘Cos it’s time you realised…
Em Bm
you’re just an average man…
Verse 3: (different chord progression)
Bm D G Em
And ff this is dark-ness here
Bm D G Em G
And if this is dark-ness… coming
Chorus:
D G
Have another drink my son
D G
Enjoy another cigarette
D G
‘Cos it’s time you realised…
Em Bm
you’re just an average man…
