Stage

(início)

Intro:
Note: I always thought that this was just a straightforward
      F#5 strumming, however, upon closer listen, you can
      clearly hear the changes from 244xxx to 044xxx
      When playing, try to focus on strumming the E and A
      strings more. You may want to just play the chords as
      24xxxx and 04xxxx
Note 2: Listen to the recording to get how this is played
        I prefer all downstrum, but you may play whatever way you wish

(Play 4 times and lead into Verse)
Verse:
(* =  After chord is played, 3 muted harmonics are played quickly between
      To do this, move your pointer finger from the 2nd to 3rd fret;
      lightly touching the E string and strum away. You'll hear the same
      sound as on the recording).
F#5*             F#5*
    I wanna feel,     I wanna try
F#5*                    F#5 E5II F#5 E5II
    I wanna rock in the city tonight
F#5*             F#5*
    I wanna deal,     don't wanna die
F#5*                         F#5 E5II F#5 E5II      F#5
    I wanna bring my Captain Hook into the light
Pre-chorus:
(Bass only)
People I've seen my day, ranting and raving this beauty away
We are by and large the same, but words are too feeble, they cannot contain
Chorus 1:
*F#5  E5  D5    B5
He was a rock 'n roll Messiah
A5      D5            E5
She was known for her childcare
*F#5     E5    D5          B5
Truth is gonna give up the World
   A5        D5          E5
If you can  give up the stage
    E5         E5
The stage, the stage..... Come on!
(Repeat Verse)
(Repeat Pre-chorus)
Chorus 2:
*F#5  E5  D5      B5
He was a rock and roll Messiah
A5      D5            E5
She was known for her childcare
*F#5     E5    D5          B5
Truth is gonna give up the World
   A5        D5          E5
If you can  give up the stage
   A5      D5          E5
If I can  give up the stage
   A5       D5          E5
If we can  give up the stage
Bridge:
C#5  A5  E5  D#5
C#5  A5  E5  D#5
G#5      A5      E5         A5
    Come to this,   I can't come to you
C#5          A5    E5      D#5
    Don't do this, wake me up tonight
G#5      A5      E5         A5
    Come to this,   I can't come to you
C#5          A5    E5      A5
    Don't do this, wake me up to...
D5       D5       D5    D5
night. Tonight, tonight...
(strum F#5 once and hold into solo)
Solo:
Note: This was difficult to make out on the recording,
      so it is more than likely not 100%. Just fool around with
      it and you will come close. Or you can always improvise
      if you're good. :)
(Guitar 2 plays Intro Part as rhythm backing)

Chorus 3:
     *F#5  E5  D5      B5     A5  D5   E5
Yeah, he was a rock and roll Messiah
*F#5  E5  D5      B5         A5  D5   E5
How could you stand to lay beside her?
A5  D5   E5   A5  D5   E5
Messiah.....  beside her......
Outro:
Repeat the following progression throughout until end
Listen to the recording to get how its played:
*F#5  E5  D5  E5
Hey yeah, no, nananananananananananana
Yeah, yeah, yeah, gimme the stage, gimme the stage
Beside her, beside her, beside her
END ON:
