A great song, just missing some of the solo kind of parts. You can use your pinky finger to reach two frets over when playing the B on and off to get the sound they have on the album. This song is fun to play LOUD!
BBBB BbBbB
AAAA AbAbA
G
E
Shout "1-2-3-4" over the ringing E
B
Well if you don't like it
E
go ahead, find yourself a saint
go ahead now,
B
try to find a boy
E
who's gonna be what I ain't
G#
now what you need is
B
a plastic doll with a fresh coat of paint
G#
who's gonna sit through the madness
B
and always acts so quaint
E
so yeah yeah yeah
B
With your new friend
E
you're really making a scene
B
and I see you bouncing around
E
from machine to machine
and you know
G#
they're never really,
B
never what they seem
G#
and you can try to generate some warmth
B
and you see just what I mean
E
I said yeah yeah yeah
B
And If I'm acting like a king
E
well that's cause I'm a human being
B
and if I want too many things
don't you know that
E
I'm a human being
B
and if I've got to dream
baby baby yeah
E
I'm a human being
B
and when it gets a bit obscene
E
(wooah) I'm a human being
G#
and I've got to go around
with my head hung down
B
just like a human being
we're all just human being
G#
and I can hold my head so high
B E
cause I'm a human, a first class human being
B
why won't you give me a little sip
E
why don't you try me on a drag of that cigarette
B
why don't you try to give me something
E
that I will never ever forget
G# B
but now don't you blow it all on a million dollar bet
G#
because you're liable to lose it
B
on a bet that you can't get
E
I'm saying yeah yeah yeah
B
And If I'm acting like a king
E
well that's cause I'm a human being
B
and if I want too many things
don't you know that
E
I'm a human being
B
and if I've got to dream
baby baby yeah
E
I'm a human being
B
and when it gets a bit obscene
E
(wooah) I'm a human being
G#
and I've got to go around
with my head hung down
B
just like a human being
we're all just human being
G#
and I can hold my head so high
B E
cause I'm a human, a first class human being
B
In fact I'm talking about the human race
E
they're trying to cover up the big disgrace
B
I said yeah yeah yeah,
E
oh C'mon C'mon C'mon
B
Well I may think that this whole scene is just a
E
too appalling for me
B
or I may be the type who's just a mad about
E
every little thing that I see
G#
well I can't follow that with history
B
or make it just what I want it to be
G#
while I'm blowing my change on a fan magazine
B
with all the Hollywood refugees, screaming
E
yeah yeah, oh yeah
B
And If I'm acting like a king
E
well that's cause I'm a human being
B
and if I want too many things
don't you know that
E
I'm a human being
B
and if I've got to dream
baby baby yeah
E
I'm a human being
B
and when it gets a bit obscene
E
(wooah) I'm a human being
G#
and I've got to go around
with my head hung down
B
just like a human being
we're all just human being
G#
and I can hold my head so high
B E
cause I'm a human, a first class human being
B
I'm a human being
E
I'm a human being
B
I'm a human being
E
I'm a human being
