Album: Greatest Hits
Song: Far Behind

Another song by the baddest ass in the USA! In Mike we trust.
Tuning: 1/2 step down like all Social D music.
-Mike plays open chords with a capo on 2nd fret in this song.
-Guitar 2 plays power chords with no capo.
-I watched Mike's hand movements repeatedly on youtube
and just saw him live today. The solo is at least 95% correct
to how Mike plays it.
VERSE:
G D
With friends like you, who needs enemies
C
You ain't right, you ain't never gonna be
G D C
You're outta the car, I'm afraid you've been de-clined
G D
You shake my hand while you're pissin on my leg
C
I'm cutting you loose, I don't need this misery
G D C
Your soul is toxic, you ain't no friend of mine! No!
