Intro: (gtr.1) G5
(gtr.2) G, D, E, C

improv solo

Verse:

we wrote this song, it’s not too short it’s not too long
it’s got backup vocals in just the right places[C-C]
it’s got a few oohs and ahhs and it takes a little pause
just before i sing the second chorus

CHORUS:

please play this song on the radio[B-A]

Verse2:
almost every line is sung in time and almost every verse ends in a rhyme
only problem we had was writing enough words
ooh ahh…
but that’s OK cause the chorus is comin up again now

CHORUS (x2)

another solo
(i don’t know it, you can improvise)

CHORUS (x2 just bass, x4 with guitar)

(false end)

Verse3:
right about this time some shthead will be drawin a fat fkin line
over the title on the backsleeve, what an ahole!
so mr. DJ i hope you already made your segway
or the FCC is gonna take a sht right on your head

Outro Chorus: can’t play this song on the radio…

A blackened wick is what remains – the flame was blown out just recently
Although the candle hadn’t burned down to the stick
It won’t be lit again, the day won’t be quite as bright
We don’t know what she may have been, all we know is what she left behind
An apartment cluttered with children’s toys and photos of good times
In the bedroom there’s sheets on the windows
There’s a four poster bed for a reason
On the floor there’s a box full of secrets, it won’t be opened
Here older boys and girls would play, all inhibitions were left behind
And as the door would close her face began to shine
This was her finest hour, this was her finest time
She’s gone and it’s not gonna be all right, not for me she’s gone
And it’s not gonna be all right
Not for me she’s gone but not forgotten she’s still here
In all those years she touched so many lives
Who’s gonna watch that little girl she left behind?

Carol Ann stands alone in the schoolyard, all the other children have gone
After waiting for hours she can’t understand why her mother left her
Solo (this is probably really messed up but hey, NOFX have two guitars)

e—0-5–7–8–10—-7–8-10—12–15–12-10–8–10-10–8–5–8—
e—12-13-10-12-8-10-7-8-5–8–10-12-13-12–10–8–5-8-10-
e—17-15-12-17-15-12-17-15-12-17—–

In the darkness she sees definition, in the silence she hears someone calling
After nightmares she lies in bed screaming but there’s no reaction
There’s no one listening, there’s no one now she’s gone
And it’s not gonna be all right, not for me she’s gone (repeat multiple x)
