I never have been able to figure out what he Actually sings in the chorus after "great expectations", but I still think It's cool. Too bad there isn't more guitar though. As usual I've only listed The chord forms of the coustic here, you can hear what the strum patterns Are better than I can show them in tab. There is an acoustic that comes in Under the last chorus but for the life of me I can't hear what the second Chord is: the first is and A and the third is an E, but what the hell is In between? I don't have a clue. Key: / = slide up \ = slide down b = bend (whole step) b^ = bend (1/2 step) b^^ = bend (1 1/2 steps) pb = pre-bend r = release-bend t = tap with righthand finger h = hammer-on p = pull-off ~ = Vibrato * = Natural Harmonic #(#) = Trill ** = Artificial Harmonic x = Dead notes (no pitch) P.M. = Palm mute (- -> underneath indicates which notes) (\) = Dive w\bar (/) = Release w\bar Tp = Tap w\plectrum Rhythm Fig. 1 Eb|--2------------------4--------------------------| Bb|--2------------------6--------------------------| Gb|--3------------------6--------------------------| Db|--4------------------6--------------------------| Ab|--4------------------4--------------------------| Eb|--2---------------------------------------------| < -

Fig 4] (2x) You watch me singing this song You see what my mouth can do And you wish you were the one I was doing it to And you watch me playin' guitar And you feel what my fingers can do And you wish you were the one I was doing it to Well, listen [Rhy. Fig 5 w/ Rhy. Fig 6] You've got great expectations [Rhy. Fig 7] You've got great expectations [Rhy. Fig 1] You're dying to be seen And you wave and call my name But in the day it seems that I'm a million miles away [Rhy. Fig 2] [Rhy. Fig 3 w/ Rhy. Fig 4] You watch me beatin' my drum And you know what my hands can do And you wish you were the one I was doing it to Well, listen [Rhy. Fig 5 w/ Rhy. Fig 6] (2x) You've got great expectations You've got great expectations [Rhy. Fig 7] You've got great expectations [Rhy. Fig 1 w/ Solo] [Rhy. Fig 3 w/ Rhy.

Fig 6] (repeat and fade) You've got great expectations You've got great expectations You've got great expectations, do you want to play the role You've got great expectations, you'd even sell me your soul You've got great expectations You've got great expectations You've got great expectations, do you want to play the role You've got great expectations, you'd even sell me your soul You've got great expectations, as long as you can play the role You've got great expectations
