"Real World"- Matchbox 20
So there's some other tabs on here that I don't think sound right at all so I took it
myself to figure out the right way...it could be completely wrong but I tried. I'm really
so sure about the chorus or the 4th verse so corrections or ideas would be great!!
***CAPO 1ST FRET***
Everything is in relation to this capo so just keep in mind...everything, the intro,
and solo.
Enjoy!

Verse 1:
(A--E--Bm7--A--E--Bm7)
Well I wonder what its like to be the rainmaker
(A--E--Bm7--A--E--Bm7)
I wonder what its like to know that I made the rain
(A--E--Bm7--A--E--Bm7)-strumming change
I'd store it in boxes with little yellow tags on everyone
--continue strumming previous chords here as lyrics cut in...
And you can come and see them when I'm...done, when I'm done

(A--E--Bm7--A--E--Bm7)
I wonder what its like to be a super hero
(A--E--Bm7--A--E--Bm7)
I wonder where Id go if I could fly around downtown
(A--E--Bm7--A--E--Bm7)--same strum change as before
From some other planet, I get this funky high on yellow sun
--continue chords just as before
Boy I bet my friends will all be...stunned, they're stunned

(Bm7--A--E)--different strumming pattern
Straight up, what did you hope to learn about here

Told ya the chorus and 4th verse didn't sound that perfect...so i'd love some comments.
anything sounded a bit off, did u remember everything is in relation to the capo on the
fret?
