  I know this song is pretty basic, musically, but I figured it would be

  timely and work well in my solo acoustic sets around the San Jose-area

  coffeehouses.  Since I went to the trouble of transcribing all the lyrics,

  I can't see a reason not to share it here!

  

  I believe Alanis sings this in the key of D; to accomodate my male singing

  voice, I have transposed it down to Bb (or B, depending on capo placement).

  I use 'open-A' fingering, with the capo on the first or second fret.  I've

  shown the music below as just being in 'A', however.  (Put your capo on

  the 5th fret to play along with the record, or transpose this back to the

  open-D position without a capo).

  

  As the music is basically a 'drone' type of sound, I use variations of the

  basic open-A chord position to lend some variance to my solo accompaniment,

  namely, the -sus2 and -sus4 forms of the basic A-chord, as follows:

  

     A  Asus2  Asus4

  

  e--0----0------0-------

  B--2----0------3-------

  G--2----2------2-------

  D--2----2------2-------

  A--0----0------0-------

  E--x----x------x-------

  

  The chord variations below are only suggestions;

  mix 'em up as you see fit!

  

  Here's the song:

  

  

                    Hand In My Pocket          --  Alanis Morissette

  

  

  

       A            Asus2      Asus4        Asus2

  I'm broke but I'm happy, I'm sore but I'm kind

       A             Asus2    A

  I'm short but I'm healthy, yeah

       A            Asus2      Asus4        Asus2

  I'm high but I'm grounded, I'm sane but I'm overwhelmed

       A           Asus2     A

  I'm lost but I'm hopeful, baby

  

  

      Asus2              G6      D

  And what it all comes down to

                                Asus2        A

  Is that everything's gonna be fine, fine, fine

              G6

  Cause I got one hand in my pocket

           D                          A

  And the other one is givin' a high five

  

  

  I feel drunk but I'm sober, I'm young and I'm underpaid

  I'm dyin' but I'm workin', yeah

  I care but I'm restless, I'm here but I'm really gone

  I'm wrong and I'm sorry, baby

  

  And what it all comes down to

  Is that ev'rything's gonna be quite alright

  Cause I got one hand in my pocket

  And the other one is flickin' a cigarette

  

  (instr.)

  

  And what it all comes down to

  Is that I haven't got it all figured out just yet

  Cause I got one hand in my pocket

  And the other one is givin' a peace sign

  

  

  I'm free but I'm focused, I'm green but I'm wise

  I'm hard but I'm friendly, baby

  I'm sad but I'm laughin', I'm brave but I'm chickenshit

  I'm sick but I'm pretty, baby

  

  And what it all boils down to

  Is that no one's really got it figured out just yet

  Well I got one hand in my pocket

  And the other one is playin' a piano

  

  And what it all comes down to, my friend, yeah

  Is that everything is just fine, fine, fine

  Cause I got one hand in my pocket

  And the other one is hailing a taxi cab

  

  

  

  

  Enjoy!
