SONG TITLE: Ends
ARTIST/GROUP: Everlast
ALBUM: Whitey Ford Sings The Blues
TRANSCRIBED BY: qualitytabs@qualitytabs.tk
**********************************************************************
CHORDS: [with capo on third fret]
-------
EADGBE
E (022100) You must put a capo on the 3rd fret to play this song
A (x02220) along with the CD. All chord names and numbers are
D (xx0232) relative to the capo. Like E is actually a G.
C (x32010)
Great song!! In my opinion this song is better than What It's Like.
But I'm probably the only person on the planet who thinks that ;)
I'm definitely gonna buy this CD as soon as I can.
I like the way Everlast sings. It's kinda like a fusion of rap and
folk music. He's telling stories. Reminds me of Bob Dylan. (and now
all those psychotic Dylan fans will probably mail me and be shocked
over this blasphemy and start telling me how no one can compare to
Dylan. ;) Also, I love it when a song has just a few very basic
chords, and sounds good on acoustic. I have an electric guitar, but
I haven't played it much since my band broke up so now I like good
acoustic songs.
INTRO:
------
E
Ends...
D C E
Some people would rob their mother for the ends
D C E
Rats snitch on one another for the ends
D C E
Sometimes kids get murdered for the ends
D C E [stop]
So before we go any further I'm on my ends
[Here's that fill he plays before
starting the verse:]
FILL 1:
E|------------|
B|------------|
G|-----0------| h = hammer-on
D|------------|
A|-0h2--------|
E|------------|
When he plays the A chord in the verses, he
throws in a little Asus4 (x02230) before going
back to E. So you just strum the A chord normally
but right before going back to E, try playing
something like this:
A Asus4
E|--0-0--0-0---0--|
B|--2-2--2-3p2-2--| p = pull-off
G|--2-2--2-2---2--|
D|--2-2--2-2---2--|
A|--0-0--0-0---0--|
E|----------------|
Of course, it's not neccessary to play that. If you think
it's hard you can just strum the A chord normally, it still
sounds great.
VERSE 1:
--------
E
I knew this cat named Dale who didn't have a dollar
A
He was Harvard material, Ivy League scholar
E
Had a PHD, got an MBA
A
But now he's waitin' tables 'cause there's rent to pay
E
Companies down sizin', inflation's risin'
A
Can't find a job, he's feelin' kind of stressed
E
Doesn't even feel the effects when he says
A
Forgot to count how many times he's been blessed
E
So he falls off track, starts smokin' the crack
A
And once it hits his brain it starts a chain react
E
Sells the shirt off his back, the shoes off his feet
A
He's losin' all his teeth, now he's out on the street
E
And all of the sudden he's like Jesse James
A
Tryin' to stick up kids for their watches and chains
E
But he's from business school, and he's nervous with the tool
A
So he ends up on his back in a bloody pool
E
For the ends
CHORUS:
-------
D C E
Some people would rob their mother for the ends
D C E
Rats snitch on one another for the ends
D C E
Sometimes kids get murdered for the ends
D C E [stop]
So before we go any further I'm on my ends
[play fill 1]
VERSE 2: [play like verse 1]
--------
I knew this chick named Sally, she had a nice strut
And everywhere that I went she was up in the cut
Swingin' that butt like "place your ad here"
Only rapped the Benz and rocked the fly gear
Brand name wearin', champagne wavin'
Jewels around the neck, a lotta style she's cravin'
Ain't no savin', she's doin' all the spendin'
If you do the lendin', she'll do the bendin'
Straight machine vendin', that's money for tail
Shoppin' sprees get her on her knees
And then you hit her with the keys of your krib you actin' funny
Come home one day find her countin' out your money
From the Wetlands all the way to the Apollo
If you broke she's spittin', if you're rich she might swallow
For the ends
CHORUS: [play like first chorus]
-------
Some people would rob their mother for the ends
Rats snitch on one another for the ends
Sometimes kids get murdered for the ends
So before we go any further I'm on my ends
GUITAR-SOLO:
------------
I don't transcribe solos usually.
What he's doing basically is playing
this:
E
E|-------------------------|
B|-----2p0-----------0--0--|
G|-----2p0-----------0--0--| h = hammer-on
D|-0h2-----2p0h2-----------| p = pull-off
A|-------------------------|
E|-------------------------|
and sometimes this:
E
E|-------------------------|
B|-----2p0-----------2--2--|
G|-----2p0-----------2--2--|
D|-0h2-----2p0h2-----------|
A|-------------------------|
E|-------------------------|
Just play those two a few times and add in
some slight variations. You'll be fine.
VERSE 3: [play like verse 1]
--------
I knew these two homeboys that made a lot of noise
Makin' money on the block, the kids was on their job
They was tougher than leather like Reverend Run
DMC they was tokin' guns
Hold and wait, goin' out of state
Stackin' mad chips and pushin' phat wears
Fly jewels and clothes and got no job
And then one disappeared and one got robbed
For the ends
CHORUS: [play like previous choruses]
-------
Some people would rob their mother for the ends
Rats snitch on one another for the ends
Sometimes kids get murdered for the ends
So before we go any further I'm on my ends
[play Fill 1]
