[Solo 2]
[Verse] [E] Now I'm relieved to hear that you've [A] been to some [B] far out places It's [E] hard to carry on when you [A] feel all [B] alone [E] Now I've swung back down again It's [A] worse than it was be [B] fore If I [E] hadn't seen such riches I could [A] live with being [B] poor (Triplet drum fill - as per higher ground - start strum on upstroke)
[Chorus] [E] Oh sit down, Oh sit down, Oh sit down [A] Sit down next to [B] me [E] Sit down down down down [A] down [###########Scroll#########] in sympa [B] thy
[Bridge - Quiet bit] (Drums x 4 triplet figure - no chords One hand - bounce off strings - and bass drum on 2 and 4 Then play chords as barres so can mute effectively x7999x 577655 799877 - pattern 123 123 123 1xx) - can also use Higher Ground rhythm if works better
[E] Those who feel the breath of sadness [A] Sit down next to [B] me [E] Those who find they're touched by madness [A] Sit down next to [B] me [E] Those who find themselves ridiculous [A] Sit down next to [B] me (Drums - pickup sS) [E] In love, in fear, in hate, in tears [A] In love, in fear, [B] in hate, in tears [E] In love, in fear, in hate, in tears [A] In love, in fear, [B] in hate
[Less chords bit] (Play E loud once and sustain then just drums until A and B) [E] "Doooooooooooooooooown" [A][B] [E] "Doooooooooooooooooown" [A][B] (Triple drums back in - Higher Ground)
[Chorus] [E] Oh sit down, Oh sit down, Oh sit down [A] Sit down next to [B] me [E] Sit down down down down dow [A] n in sympa [B] thy
[E] Oh sit down, Oh sit down, Oh sit down [A] Sit down next to [B] me [E] Sit down down down down dow [A] n in sympa [B] thy (Finish on triplet fills and then "Down" - Slide D# to E)
