Kids Aren't Allright

I've become addicted to this song now :) I've been learning it by ear and I have a transcription of it just about done. I'll post it as soon as I write it all down. Oh yeah, and Frank, no cheating with online TABS :)

verso 1:

Bbm F#
When we were young the future was so bright, woh woh
Db
The old neighborhood was so alive, woh woh
Ab
And every kid on the whole damn street, woh woh
Was gonna make it big and not be beat

Bbm F#
Now the neighborhood's cracked and torn, woh woh
Db
The kids are grown up but their lives are worn, woh woh
How can one little street
Ab
Swallow so many lives

Refrão:
Bbm
Chances thrown
F#
Nothing's free
Db Ab
Longing for what used to be
Bbm
Still it's hard
F#
Hard to see
Db Ab
Fragile lives shattered dreams


(Repete Solo A 2x)


Verso 2:
Bbm F#
Jamie had a chance, well she really did, woh woh
Db
Instead she dropped out and had a couple of kids, woh woh
Ab
Mark still lives at home cause he's got no job, woh woh
He just plays guitar and smokes a lot of pot

Bbm F#
Jay committed suicide, woh woh
Db
Brandon OD'd and died, woh woh
Ab
What the hell is going on
The cruelest dream, reality


(Repete o Refrão)
