u can make these chords like the rythmn, and whack a deeper bass effect on ur guitar to
it sound really
meating.. its up to u.

Solo effort
hmmm im not 100% on this.. i generally just bend around on this strings (thing The

some on the notes, generally its not a great solo, its just a cool little rock solo, so
bend away around
these notes and see what happens :)

riff, but with more fluency and less pause on the notes to fill in the outro.. nice and quite tho
continue with the correct pauses for drums and end on a muted harmonic note, always
it nicely :)
not to hard :)
Lyrics:
Well he was born a street freak
And he will die one too.
With a drink in his hand and his friends in his sights
He's coming for you.
Street freak lies in your street
Street freak lies in your sheets
Street freak lies through his teeth
Street freak is a common thief.
Will this man ever learn
Does this man feel concern
Has this man ever heard
Street freak's not his only word.
So he was born a Street freak
and he will die one too
With a drink in his hand and his friends in his sights
He's coming for you.
Spends all his time lookin' for a main line (x8)
