What I Got Lyrics
by Sublime
Chords:
D: (xx0232)
G: (320033)
(There are only two chords through the entire song. He just picks them kind of randomly, you don't have to be accurate but you should pick them a bit like this)
Bassline:
(It's simple but it sounds very cool. It's the same throughout the song.)
Verse 1:
Early in the morning
Rise into the street
Light me up that cigarette and I strap shoes on my feet
Got to find a reason
reason things went wrong
Got to find a reason why my money's all gone
I got a Dalmatian
I can still get high
I can play the guitar like a motherf**kin' riot
Guitar Solo:
B----------10h12--------12-12p10--13-12--10-----------------------------|
G--11h12--------------------------------------12b13r12p10--12-10--------|
Verse 2:
guitar stops, bass keeps playing
Life is too short so love the one ya got
'cause you might get run over or ya might get shot
Never have the battle with the bulletproof vest
Never start static I get it off my chest
Take a small example, a tip from me
Take all of your money, give it up to charity
Love is what I got, within my reach
the Sublime style's still straight from Long Beach
It comes back to you, you're going to get what you deserve
Try and test that, you're bound to get served
Love's what I got, don't start a riot
you'll feel it when the dance gets hot
In this chorus you play the UITR-SOLO (above) again while the singer is singing
Chorus:
Loving, is what I got
I said remember that
Loving, is what I got
I said remember that
(After the chorus come some weird sounds that I don't know how to play. Just let the guitar be silent and let the bass play 'D G' 4 times)
Verse 3:
I don't cry when my dog runs away
I don't get angry at the bills I have to pay
I don't get angry when my mom smokes pot
Hits the bottle and goes back to the rock
f**k it, fight it, it's all the same
Living with Louie Dog's the only way to stay sane
guitar stop, weird sound
Let the loving, let the loving come back to me
Chorus: (no guitar solo in this chorus)
Loving, is what I got
I said remember that
Loving, is what I got
I said remember that
Outro:
strum once, then stop
Loving, is what I got
I said remember that
strum once, then stop
Loving, is what I got
I said remember that
(the rest of the outro is just repeating the chorus like usual many times, but there's a lot of picking in it that I've transcribed below)
chords stop
"...I got, I got, I got..."
Then comes a distorted electric guitar that plays this:
