Opinion 
by Greg Graffin, from the album American Lesion
TAB and Chord layout by Nasgul07
Standard tuning:  E A D G B E
Riff 1 & 2 are actually played on keyboard and possibly banjo/e-banjo in the 
original, along to the backing chords on guitar (see above RIFF 1 & 2), but it 
still sounds good played on the guitar.

The Cfirst thing GI reDmember was the Cfriction Gin the Droom
And that Cbrown spiGnet piDano that Emnever played in GtunDe
The Ccruel imGpatient Dtyrant, the frusCtrated GmalconDtent,
The Cneed to Gfind the Dpieces, and the Emabsence of ceDment
CNo one ever Gtold me about the Cright Gway to Dlove
And Cno one ever Gshowed me what we're Dsupposed to be made of
So Cdon't be too forthGright about what you Cthink that GI should Dbe
And I'll Cwillingly acGcept your low oDpinion of Gme
//RIFF 1//
The Clast thing GI reDmember was the Cslamming Gof the Ddoor
And the Cresonance of my GimperDfection broke the Emsilence once GmorDe
The Cselfish Gangry Dbastard who Cdoesn't Gwant to Dhear
I Ctried to Glearn comDpassion you Emturned the other Dear
CNo one ever Gtold me about the Cright Gway to Dlove
And Cno one ever Gshowed me what we're Dsupposed to be made of
So Cdon't be too forthGright about what you Cthink that GI should Dbe
And I'll Cwillingly acGcept your low oDpinion of Gme

C G D C G D

The first thing I remember was the friction in the room

C G D Em G D

And that brown spinet piano that never played in tune

C G D C G D

The cruel impatient tyrant, the frustrated malcontent,

C G D Em D

The need to find the pieces, and the absence of cement

C G C G D

No one ever told me about the right way to love

C G D

And no one ever showed me what we're supposed to be made of

C G C G D

So don't be too forthright about what you think that I should be

C G D G

And I'll willingly accept your low opinion of me

//RIFF 1//

C G D C G D

The last thing I remember was the slamming of the door

C G D Em G D

And the resonance of my imperfection broke the silence once more

C G D C G D

The selfish angry bastard who doesn't want to hear

C G D Em D

I tried to learn compassion you turned the other ear

C G C G D

No one ever told me about the right way to love

C G D

And no one ever showed me what we're supposed to be made of

C G C G D

So don't be too forthright about what you think that I should be

C G D G

And I'll willingly accept your low opinion of me

C G D C G D

The worn out broken record who doesn't fit the mold

C G D C G D

The righteous independent, the mood so harsh and cold

C G C G D

Momma never told me about the right way to love

C G D

And daddy never showed me what we're supposed to be made of

C G C G D

So don't be too forthright about what you think that I should be

C G D G

And I'll willingly accept your low opinion of me
