Artist: ALANIS MORISSETTE Song: HAND IN MY POCKET (an acoustic version) Album: JAGGED LITTLE PILL Transcription: Xavier Flament (flament@onera.fr) Chord formation: C9 X32033 C/G 332010 F 133211 G 320033 This version is really easy to play! It sounds fine on an acoustic guitar but it may be boring if you don't play it with a 'smart' rythm and some hammer-on from time to time. Verse: ----- G I'm broke but I'm happy, I'm sore but I'm kind I'm short but I'm healthy, yeah I'm high but I'm grounded, I'm sane but I'm overwhelmed I'm lost but I'm hopeful, baby Chorus: ------ F And what it all comes down to C G Is that everything's gonna be fine, fine, fine F Cause I got one hand in my pocket C C9 G And the other one is givin' a high five Verse: ----- I feel drunk but I'm sober, I'm young and I'm underpaid I'm dyin' but I'm workin', yeah I care but I'm restless, I'm here but I'm really gone I'm wrong and I'm sorry, baby Chorus: ------ And what it all comes down to Is that ev'rything's gonna be quite alright Cause I got one hand in my pocket And the other one is flickin' a cigarette (Instrumental part: play G (There it gets really boring. Ask one of your friends to play the harmonica (Springsteen,Dylan or better, Alanis herself) or jump to the next chorus!) And what it all comes down to Is that I haven't got it all figured out just yet Cause I got one hand in my pocket And the other one is givin' a peace sign Verse: ----- I'm free but I'm focused, I'm green but I'm wise I'm hard but I'm friendly, baby I'm sad but I'm laughin', I'm brave but I'm chickenshit I'm sick but I'm pretty, baby Chorus: ------ And what it all boils down to Is that no one's really got it figured out just yet Well I got one hand in my pocket And the other one is playin' a piano And what it all comes down to, my friend, yeah Is that everything is just fine, fine, fine Cause I got one hand in my pocket And the other one is hailing a taxi cab I seem to have lost half of this version A Asus2 Asus4 e--0----0------0------- Hand In My Pocket -- Alanis Morissette B--2----0------3------- A Asus2 Asus4 Asus2 G--2----2------2------- I'm broke but I'm happy, I'm sore but I'm kind D--2----2------2------- A Asus2 A A--0----0------0------- I'm short but I'm healthy, yeah E--x----x------x------- I'm high but I'm grounded I'm sane but I'm overwhelmed A Asus2 A I'm lost but I'm hopeful, baby I feel drunk but I'm sober, I'm young and I'm underpaid I'm dyin' but I'm workin', yeah I care but I'm restless, I'm here but I'm really gone I'm wrong and I'm sorry, baby And what it all comes down to Is that ev'rything's gonna be quite alright Cause I got one hand in my pocket And the other one is flickin' a cigarette (instr.)
