*Second Guitar

[Intro]
B5      [ch]B5[/ch]      B5(X) B5(X) B5(X) B5(X) x4 then RIFF1 x2 RIFF2 into RIFF3

[Verse]
E5 ( RIFF3 )
I was riding on a concrete slab,
E5 ( RIFF3 )
down a river of useless flab 
A5 ( RIFF4 )
it was such a beautiful day 
E5 ( RIFF3 )
I heard a witch-doctor say, 

[Chorus]
B     F#   B   C  G C D    C#
"I'll turn you into a toadstool" 
E5 ( RIFF3 )
I'm looking for the joke with a microscope 

[Verse]
E5 ( RIFF3 )
my muscle's twitching on your words
E5 ( RIFF3 ) 
if you're on the streets you lose your nerves 
A5 ( RIFF4 )
divinity throws you a curve 
E5 ( RIFF3 ) 
sticks you and then you go berserk 

[Chorus]
B     F#   B   C  G C D    C#
as life goes by you in a blur 
E5 ( RIFF3 )
I'm looking for the joke with a microscope 

[Verse]
E5 ( RIFF3 )
page out of a comic book 
E5 ( RIFF3 )
a chicken hanging on a hook 
A5 ( RIFF4 )
a river and a babbling brook
E5 ( RIFF3 )
 a sermon and a teenage hook 

[Chorus]
B     F#   B   C  G C D    C#
shaking my hand at your fake face 
E5 ( RIFF3 )
a suicide a certain look 

[Verse]
E5 ( RIFF3 )
a microphone a loose guitar 
E5 ( RIFF3 )
people feeling near and far 
A5 ( RIFF4 )
stupidity a mental scar 
E5 ( RIFF3 )
put cruel into cruelty 

[Chorus]
B     F#   B   C  G C D    C#
abhorring     no  inspiration 
E5 ( RIFF3 )
an alcoholic has gone far 
E5 ( RIFF3 )
everything just goes to far 

[Verse]
E5 ( RIFF3 )
I was p**sing on the desert sands, 
E5 ( RIFF3 )
when the desert whispered to me, 
A5 ( RIFF4 )
"damn! isn't this a shame? 
E5 ( RIFF3 )
things will never be the same..." 

[Chorus]
B     F#   B   C  G C D    C#
I run this gas and oasis 
E5 ( RIFF3 )
now I'm looking for the joke with a microscope 

[Verse]
E5 ( RIFF3 )
I was a teenage dinosaur, 
E5 ( RIFF3 )
stoned and obsolete 
A5 ( RIFF4 )
I didn't get f**ked and I didn't get kissed 
E5 ( RIFF3 )
I got so f**king dense 

[Chorus]
B     F#   B   C  G C D    C#
using my head for an ashtray 
E5 ( RIFF3 )
now I'll tell you who I am 

[Outro]
E5 ( RIFF3 )
I'm the repo-man 
E5 ( RIFF3 )
and I'm looking for the joke 
E5 ( RIFF3 )
looking for the joke 
E5 ( RIFF3 )
I'm looking for the joke with a microscope... Repeat and fade
