Tuning: Standard
Intro Chords: C#m, B, A, G#C#m
I'm not surprised it's come to this, Sooner or later there must be another's
G#AG#A
kiss, Behind that kiss a promise of a life of bliss, Yeah, great I won't be
C#mF#AB
takin' the bait - I'd rather drown And I will not turn my whole life upside
E
down
C#mG#A
Imagine everything you've done, Under a microscope on view for everyone, and
G#A
if the King of Circumspection's here He's come in vain I won't be sharing
C#mF#ABC#m
the blame - I wear the crown and I will not turn my whole life upside down
G#C#mG#C#mG#
Nothing's good enough for me To shake me from complacency, I make my mind up
F#C#m
and I'll never be The kind of man who'd make a choice, For if I hold my
G#AG#
tongue I'll never lose my voice, If each attempted act of sabotage destroys
AC#mF#A
all hope I won't be needing a rope - I'm gagged and bound and I will not
BE
turn my whole life upside down
AEAE
And if the genie were set free, and by the laws of things like that he's
AG#C#mA
indebted to me. I'd bury my three wishes deep down in the ground, So I will
BE
not turn my whole life upside down.
SOLO: Bend the B string whenever it is on the 11th Fret. You will know what

Though I appreciate the aim, tell Andy Warhol's ghost that he can keep his

fame, i'd only use it to make everything the same again so don't applaud
C#mF#ABC#m
till the end - I'm not around cause I will not turn my whole life upside down

Nothing's good enough for me, to shake me from complacency, I've made my
G#F#ABE
mind up I won't make a sound, and I will not turn my whole life upside down
A bit of a weird solo and really hard to put down on tab, but its there and is as near
enough perfect as I can get it. I'm 100% certain the chords are right and I just hope
that you can follow it ok. Any queeries, suggestions etc, e-mail me at any of the addresses below,

Barenaked Ladies - Upside Down, Ships & Dip III Cruise
WAR ON DRUGS - Barenaked Ladies
Album: Everything to Everyone
Transcribed by Colin Principe

A fabulous song that has quickly become one of my all-time favorites.
The viaduct referred to in the song is the Bloor Street Viaduct in Toronto.
I like to play this with a capo on the 3rd fret. All chords are relative to that.
INTRO
GC x3
GCDGC
She likes to sleep with the radio on
DG
So she can dream of her favorite song
EmCD
The one that no one has ever sung since she was small
She'll never know that she made it up
She had a soul and we ate it up
Thrown away like a paper cup
The music falls
The only flaw in her detailed plan
Is where she wins back the love of her man
Everyone knows that he's never coming back
He took her heart and she took his name
He couldn't stand taking all the blame
He left her only with guilt and shame and then she cracked
CHORUS
EmCD
Won't it be dull when we rid ourselves
GEm
Of all these demons haunting us
CD
To keep us company?
In the dream I refuse to have
She falls asleep in a lukewarm bath
We're left to deal with the aftermath again
On behalf of humanity
I will fight for your sanity
How profound such profanity can be
EmCD
Won't it be dull when we rid ourselves
GEm
Of all these demons haunting us
CD
To keep us company?
EmCD
Won't it be odd to be happy like we
GEm
Always thought we're supposed to feel
CD
But never seem to be?
(For the third verse, you can either play as the first two verses or do the following)
G
Near where I live there's a viaduct
F/G
Where people jump when they're out of luck
EmD
Raining down on the cars and trucks below
They've put a net there to catch their fall
Like it'll stop anyone at all
What they don't know is when nature calls, you go
They say that Jesus and mental health
Are just for those who can help themselves
But what good is that when you live in hell on earth?
From the very fear that makes you want to die
Is just the same as what keeps you alive
It's way more trouble than some suicide is worth
Won't it be dull when we rid ourselves
Of all these demons haunting us
To keep us company
Won't it be odd to be happy like we
Always thought we're supposed to feel
But never seem to be
Hard to admit I fought the war on drugs
My hands were tied and the phone was bugged
Another died and the world just shrugged it off
- Thanks very much, feel free to send along any comments, corrections!

WHAT A GOOD BOY (Barenaked Ladies)
GDC
When I was born, they looked at me and said
What a good boy, what a smart boy, what a strong boy
GDC
And when you were born, they looked at you and said
What a good girl, what a smart girl, what a pretty girl
We've got these chains that hang around our necks
People want to strangle us with them before we take our first breath
Afraid of change, afraid of staying the same
When temptation calls, we just look away
CHORUS:
GD
This name is the hairshirt I wear
C
And this hairshirt is woven from your brown hair
GD
This song is the cross that I bear
C
Bear it with me, Bear with me, Bear with me
GDC (open) C
Be with me tonight
GDC (open) C
I know that it isn't right
But be with me tonight
I go to school, I write exams
If I pass, If I fail, If I drop out, does anyone give a damn?
And if they do, they'll soon forget
'Cause it won't take much for me to show that my life ain't over yet
I wake up scared, I wake up strange
I wake up wondering if anything in my life is ever gonna change
I wake up scared, I wake up strange
And everything around me stays the same
CHORUS
I couldn't tell you, that I was wrong
Chickened out, grabbed a pen and paper, sat down and I wrote this song
I couldn't tell you, you were right
So instead I looked in the mirror, watched TV, layed awake all night
We've got these chains that hang around our necks
Perople want to strangle us with them before we take our first breath
Afraid of change, afraid of staying the same
When temptation calls . . .
CHORUS
REPEAT FIRST VERSE

Song: When You Dream
Artist: Barenaked ladies
Tabbed by: James Sanctuary
E / B / A / E / B
With life just begun, the sleeping new son.
As eyes that go back in his head.
It flutters and dies, he slows down his heart.
And pictures a world past his bed.
F#m / B
It's hard to believe.
As I watch you breath.
My mind drifts away.
E / B
When you dream.
What do you dream about.
When you dream.
What do you dream about.
F#m / A / E / B
Do you dream about music or mathematics.
or planets to far the eye.
Do you dream about jesus or quantem mecanics.
or angels that sing lullabys.
E / B / A / E / B
His phontenel pulses with lives that he's lived.
With memories he'll learn to ignore.
And when it is closed, he already knows.
He's forgoten all he knew before.
F#m / B
But when sleep sets in.
History begins.
But the future will win.
E / B
When you dream.
What do you dream about.
When you dream.
What do you dream about.
F#m / A / E / B
Are they coloured or black and white.
Yhidish or English, or languages not yet concieved.
Are they silent or boisteroius, do you hear noises.
Just loud enough to be foreseen.
Do you hear delshannons runaway playing on transistor radio waves.
With so little experience, your mind not yet cognisen.
Are you wise beyond your few days.
E / B
When you dream.
What do you dream about.
When you dream.
What do you dream about.
GCDEmGCDG
Now I lay me down not to sleep
GCDG
I just get tangled in the sheets
EmCDEm
I swim in sweat three inches deep
EmCDG
I just lay back and claim defeat
AmFG
Lid's down, count sheep, count heartbeats
Am g Am
The only thing that counts is that I won't sleep
FG
Countdown, I look around
C
Who needs sleep
F
Well you're never gonna get it
C
Who needs sleep
F
Tell me what's that for
C
Who needs sleep
F
You have to live with what you're getting
G
There's a guy's been awake since the second World War
CGCG
So much joy in life so many pleasures all around
CGCG
But the pleasure of insomnia is one I've never found
CGCG
With all life has to offer there's so much to be enjoyed
CGCG
But the pleasures of insomnia are ones I can't avoid
Now I lay me down not to sleep.
I just get tangled in the sheets.
I swim in sweat 3 inches deep
Just lay back and claim defeat
Chapter read and lesson learned.
Turn the lights off while she burns.
So while she's 300 degrees,
I throw the sheets off and I freeze.
Chorus:
Lids down, I count sheep
I count heart beats.
The only thing that counts is that I won't sleep
I countdown, I look around
Who needs sleep??
Well you're never gonna get it.
Who needs sleep??
Tell me, what's that for?
Who needs sleep??
You're happy wiith what you get and there's a guy that's been awake
since the 2nd world war.
Who needs sleep??
Well you're never gonna get it.
Who needs sleep??
Tell me, what's that for?
Who need sleep??
You happy with what you get and there's a guy that's been awake since
the 2nd world war.
My hands are locked up tight in fists
My mind is racing, filled with lists
of things to do and things I've done
Another sleepless night's begun.
Lids down, I count sheep
I count heart beats.
The only thing that counts is that I won't sleep
I countdown, I look around
Who needs sleep??
Well you're never gonna get it.
Who needs sleep??
Tell me, what's that for?
Who needs sleep??
You're happy wiith what you get and there's a guy that's been awake
since the 2nd world war.
Who needs sleep??
Well you're never gonna get it.
Who needs sleep??
Tell me, what's that for?
Who need sleep??
You happy with what you get and there's a guy that's been awake since
the 2nd world war.
So much joy in life and so many pleasures all around
but the pleasure of insomnia is one I'd never found.
With all life has to offer, there's so much to be enjoyed
but the pleasures of insomnia are ones I can't avoid.
Lids down, I count sheep
I count heart beats.
The only thing that counts is that I won't sleep
I countdown, I look around
Halla halla halla
Who needs sleep??
Well you're never gonna get it.
Who needs sleep??
Tell me, what's that for?
Who need sleep??
You hafta use what you get and there's a guy that's been awake since
the
2nd world war
Who needs sleep??
Well you're never gonna get it.
Who needs sleep??
Tell me, what's that for?
Who need sleep??
You hafta use what you get and there's a guy that's been awake since
the
2nd world war
The whole song is plainly four chords with standard tuning and no capo.
Verse 1:
FAA#C
If there's someone you can live without well do so
FAA#C
And if there's someone you can just shut out well do so
Chorus:
FAA#C
You can be my yoko ono
FAA#C
You can follow me wherever I go
FAA#C
Be my Be my Be my Be my Be my Yoko ono wohhhh
Verse 2:
All the same chords.
That is literaly the whole song it is very easy.

Subject: Barenaked Ladies: You Will Be Waiting
I hope that the chord fingerings below
make sense. I don't know the real names of the chords that I've called
such things as CaddG, but it's a C major with the high G note added on
the first string and so on. Sorry about the capo placement, but my
cassette player plays everything fast (about a half-step fast) so where
I have to put my capo to play along isn't necessarily reliable. Just pick
out the bass notes and see where it should go.

YOU WILL BE WAITING
(Capo on 2nd or 3rd fret; I can't remember which)
The numbers below denote the fret where the string should be held, not
the finger that should be used. All fingerings are with the capo on.
