Everclear - Santa Monica

-7-7  -7    -8-7  -6   -7    -7
I am still living with your ghost
 -7 -7 -7  -7 -6    6  -6   6   5 -4
Lonely and dreaming of the west coast
-7 -7    -7  -6 6  -6   -6 -7 6
I don't want to be your downtime
6  6     6   5  -4  5    5  6   -4 
I don't want to be your stupid game

With my big black boots and an old suitcase
I do believe I'll find myself a new place
I don't want to be the bad guy
I don't want do your sleepwalk dance anymore

-7 -7  -6   6  -6  -6   -7    6 
I just want to see some palm trees
6  6    6   5  -4     5     5    6 -4
I will try and shake away this disease

CHORUS
-7 -7   -7  -6  6  -6  -6 6
We can live beside the ocean
 5    6    6   -6  -7
Leave the fire behind
 -7  -6   6   -6   -6 6
Swim out past the breakers
  6   (5) 6  5  -4 
Watch the world die
-7 -7   7   -7 -6  -7  -7 6
We can live beside the ocean
Leave the fire behind
Swim out past the breakers
Watch the world die

I am stil dreaming of you face
Hungry & hollow for all the things you took away
I don't want to be your good time
I don't want to be your fall-back crutch anymore

 -7   -7   -7   -6  6 -6 -6 -7  -7   -7
I'll walk right out into a brand new day
 -7 -7 -7  -7 -6    6  -6   6   5 -4 
Insane and rising in my own weird way
-7 -7    -7  -6 6  -6   -8 -7 6 
I don't want to be the bad guy
-8 -8   -8   -7 -6  -7   -7  -6    6    6  -6 6
I don't want to do your sleepwalk dance anymore

-7 -7   7   -7 -6   -7   -8 -7 6 
I just want to feel some sunshine
6  6    -7  -6   6    5   5      5   6 -4
I just want to find some place to be alone

CHORUS

 -7  -6    6     5   -4 
yeah watch the world die x4 


I can see this one being a campfire fav of mine once I get some practice at it. The last few lines I experimented with to try to follow the intensity of the vocals. If you're lost, the first half of the song will fit the entire piece.

(5) in the chorus is an ornamental note. You need it but play it quickly by sliding from 6 to 5 and back to 6 and holding until 5 -4.
Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
