When Sheryl plays it her guitar is tuned down and so instead of playing
the Db she plays a D. If you'd want to play that version instead, lower
all the notes by one semi-tone.

Verse:
Db B Gb
I hitched a ride with a vending machine repair man
Db B Gb
He says he's been down this road more than twice
Db B Gb
He was high on intellectualism
Db B Gb
I've never been there but the brochure looks nice
Bridge:
Abm Db B
Jump in, let's go
Abm Db B
Lay back, enjoy the show
Abm Db B
Everybody gets high, everybody gets low,
Abm B
These are the days when anything goes
Chorus:
Db E Gb
Everyday is a winding road
Db E Gb
I get a little bit closer
Db E Gb
Everyday is a faded sign
Db E Gb Db (same as the intro :1x)
I get a little bit closer to feeling fine
Verse 2:
(during the 2nd and 3rd verses remember that the second guitar comes
in playing the sliding parts like in the intro)
Db B Gb
He's got a daughter he calls Easter
Db B Gb
She was born on a Tuesday night
Db B Gb
I'm just wondering why I feel so all alone
Db B Gb
Why I'm a stranger in my own life
(Bridge)
The chorus is the same as before just that it is repeated, and when you get
to the end where she says, "feelin' fine...", just hold the last Db until it
fades. Then you go into the solo:
e---------------------------------------------------|
G--4/6-4/6-4----9/11-11--x-9/11-11-11---------------|
B--4/6-4/6-4----9/11-11--x-9/11-11-11---------------| x4
D--4/6-4/6-4----9/11-11--x-9/11-11-11---------------|
A---------------------------------------------------|
E---------------------------------------------------|
(Feel free to be yourself with this solo, it is usually played with a
slide(bottleneck), but if you don't have one you can still do it - use your
fingers! Bend the strings, add wah-wah, add distortion, the weirder you
play it the more it will sound like the song. When you finish
the "9/11" part slide your hands up the guitar before you go back to
repeat the bar, it sounds good
Verse 3:
(this verse starts off with no guitar and then both guitars fade in around
the 3rd line. Chords are the same as before.)
I've been living in a sea of anarchy
I've been living on coffee and nicotine
I've been wondering if all the thing I've seen
Were ever real, were ever really happening
(Last chorus is the same as the others)
