Mansion in the Slums
(N. Finn)
NOTE:
-- The main guitar riff in this song focuses mainly on the top four strings
on your guitar (3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th). focus on just playing those strings
most of the way through, and minimize the use of the two highest strings.
INTRO:
Am G D/F# F
*
I'd much rather have a caravan in the hills
Am G F Am G D/F# F Am G F
than a mansion in the slums
Am G D/F# F
*
I'd much rather have a caravan in the hills
Am G F
than a mansion in the slums
Am G D/F#
the taste of success only lasts you
F Am
half an hour or less
G F
but it loves you when it comes
F
and you laugh at yourself
G Am
while you're bleeding to death
I'd much rather have a trampoline in my front room
than an isolation tank
I wish I was a million miles away
from the manager's door
there is trouble at the bank
F
you laugh at yourself
G
as you go deep into debt
G
laugh at yourself
G Am
while he's breathing down your neck
Em
who can stop me
with money in my pocket
sometimes I get it free
C
the best of both worlds
Em Am Bbm Bm C D
the best of both worlds
[Instr. break uses chords from the verse]
F
I'd much rather have a caravan in the hills
Am G D/F# F
I'd much rather have a mansion ... in the hills
Am G F
than a mansion in the slums
Am
yeah I'd much rather...
G D/F# F Am
what I mean is, would you mind if I had it all
G F
I'll take it when it comes
F
and you laugh at yourself
G
while you're bleeding to death
F
and somebody else is always
G
breathing down your neck
F
laugh at yourself
G
while he's hanging over your head
G F# F C
[See tab below for
G F# F
exact guitar part]
C B A#
[Repeat]
G F# F C
best of both worlds (it'll soon be over)
G F# F C B A#
best of both worlds
G F# F C
best of both worlds (over)
G F# F C B A#
best of both worlds
G F# F C
soon be over
