  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
