Barenaked Ladies Ordinary Lyrics

Chords used:
The picking shown is just a general idea, not an exact representation of the original part.
Interpret the picking as you wish; the fingering is the important part.
Riff 1:
Riff 2:
If you listen to the guitar in the verses, you'll notice a change in the bass notes.
That's where you switch from Riff 1 to Riff 2.
For example, the first verse is:
Riff 1
Don't you know we lost?
Riff 1
Sunk so low, we just called it off
Riff 2
How an ordinary moment gets tossed
Riff 2
A more than ordinary woman's the cost
All verses follow the same progression: play Riff 1 twice, then Riff 2 twice.
Then, between the first two verses:
Then after the second verse:
Believe me
Believe me
Believe me
Believe me
Have another look, another look around
Have another look around
Have another look, another look around
Have another look around
Chorus:
It's come undo-o-o-one
Do-one
It's come undo-o-o-one
Do-one
Then after the first chorus comes the bridge:
Have another look, another look around
Have another look around
Have another look, another look around
Have another look around
The interlude before the last verse is just Riff 2 twice.
After the last chorus:
Just end on that last D5/A
And that's it.
For the record, I'm aware that the D5/A isn't really over an A. I just refer to it as
such for naming purposes; it's much quicker and easier to type "D5/A" than "D5 (2)".
