WE'RE THE SAME (Version 2)
From: presente@mckinley.bu.edu (Henry Presente)
G - 320003, 355xxx
C - 032010, x355xx
D - 000232, x577xx (only use the power chords if you're gonna use
Em- 022000, 022xxx distortion + make the whole song sound harder)
INTRO: G C D Em
G C D
meanwhile, the lead guitar starts off what sounds like picking the G
power chord, a few octaves up, then the C power chord octaves up,
but then it loses that pattern and just starts going up and down hthe
appropriate scales; you should make up your own intro to this song
VERSE:
G C D Em
e-------------------------------------------------------
B---------------0-1--------------3-------------3-3-1-0-- (you can choose
G-0---------0-2----------------------------------------2 either octave)

you don't need to hear, what i say
i don't have to ask, cause you'll guess, what i'm seeking
you don't need to hide, what you know
1st HALF CHORUS:
Em C G D
baby, baby we're the same, when we fail in each other's eyes
(shine in each other's sky)
baby, baby we're the same, so you should not be surpriesed when i swear
to you
2nd HALF CHORUS:
Em G C ***
i never told you what to do
maybe it's me
(sometimes it's me)
maybe it's you
(sometimes it's you)
*** the chords sound alright, although in the 'maybe it's me' parts, you
have to fool around with the rhythms, but it sounds better if you play
a combination of the Em and G chords and/or then add-to/replace them
with the following:
e--10--8--7--5--3--2--
B--0---0--0--0--0--0--
G---------------------
D---------------------
A---------------------
E---------------------
if you have more than one guitar playing, you don't need to play the
B string at all
2nd VERSE:
i don't have to act, so you'll know, what i'm feeling
you don't need to see, to believe
CHORUS
SOLO:
pick your own picking rhythm (or listen to the record) - i didn't
include the number of times to hit each note, but the notes sound right

D---5--7--9--4--5--4--2--0--2--5--4--5--4s-0-------------------
