i don’t know about the “who’s gonna star the sunshine” bridge . on
the album , all i can hear after the first a chord , are bass notes . live ,
it looks like they’re playing some kind of chords i can’t pick out ,
but i’ve tried at the bottom . i think playing power chords with the
bass roots works ok . let me know if you have any suggestions .

i think this is the voicing for the intro
A = x07650 , E = 022100

intro
A E A E A E A – – –

jackie , you yourself said it best when you said :
A
“there’s been a break in the continuum .
C#m
the united states used to be lots of fun .
A E A E
back when the man and the myth of the sands and the cliffs
A A – F – E
composed a symphony to good works and better business

A A – F – E A A – F – G

E
jackie , you yourself said it best when you said”
A
“one day we’ll look upon a washed – up atlantic;
C#m
get our kicks on an ocean of antics . ”
A E A E A
and , “making history has never been so easy . . . ”

A B
so visualize success but don’t believe your eyes .
A C#m F#m Am
there’s a world of wisdom and pain to despise
A E A E
and when people get paid just to set you straight it means . . .

A E A

A * B *
are you gonna start the sunshine?
D * C# * ( repeat )
are you gonna start the sunshine

A B

notes for “who’s gonna start the sunshine”

i tried to make up chords out of the harmonies , but i’m not
getting it and i’m tired . why hasn’t someone already done this for me?
sometimes you want to just play a song and there’s no tab out there . . .

maybe they’re playing this live? i can hear the high B .

Aadd9 = xx7657 B = xx4447 D6 = xx7777 C# = xx666

xor just play power chords .
