An alternative way to play RVM intro & verse...
Sounds much better than previous tab, in my opinion.

   A                 Bm
-|-----------------|-----------------|-

-|-----0-----------|-----0-----------|-
-|---0---0-5-7-----|---0---0-7-9-----|-
-|-5-----------0-0-|-7-----------0-0-|-

The little lead gtr part you can hear somewhere in the chorus
is something like:

-------12-14----------------------------------
-12-12-------(repeat a few times)--12-14b(15)-
----------------------------------------------

Lyrics (off Joe Danziger's PJ songbook)

I took a drive today
Time to emancipate
I guess it was the beatings made me wise
But I'm not about to give thanks, or apologize
I couldn't breathe, holdin' me down
Hand on my face, pushed to the ground
Enmity gaged, united by fear
Forced to endure what I could not forgive...

I seem to look away
Wounds in the mirror waved
It wasn't my surface most defiled
Head at your feet, fool to your crown
Fist on my plate, swallowed it down
Enmity gaged, united by fear
Tried to endure what I could not forgive

Saw things  (4x)
Clearer  (2x)
Once you, were in my...Rearview mirror...

I gather speed from you fucking with me
Once and for all I'm far away
I hardly believe, finally the shades...are raised...hey...

Saw things so much clearer  }
Once you, once you...       }  (3x)
Rearview mirror             }

Saw things so much clearer
Once you...oh yeah...

Enjoy
