#notes:
#Ewlkd and Awlkd are both 'walkdowns' where the chord
#changes by only one string for three consecutive counts.
#rather than write out each chord name, just consider these
#'walkdowns' as three chords that change only slitely.
#note that the Awlkd is only used once, moves quickly
#(half the time of the Ewlkd), and becomes the A2 chord,
#strumming each chord once, affecting an introduction to
#the "all nite busz.." bridge.
#also, there's probably a better way to set up the E2-B/E
#part that repeats at the end so that it sounds closer to
#the piano's notes, but i like using these chords to just
#pound out the rhythm and sing along.

stone blind alibi i will eat the lie
find the word could break any spell that binds you
prayers like ammonites curl beneath the lites
how i long to bite any hand that feeds you more
where'd it all go wrong my friday nite enfant
(A*) (E) (F#m) (B) (Ewlkd) (Awlkd)(A2)
where'd it all go wrong my friday nite enfant
all nite busz on a line
it's only blood on the rime
wrecks my head every time
it leads me on
where'd it all go wrong my friday nite enfant
where'd it all go wrong my friday nite enfant
tonite tonite
tonite, i'm running wild, i'm running (x4)
tonite, i'm running wild
