 This is the 7th track off Sammy's latest (and best) solo effort, "Marching
 to Mars". This is a great album, and Sam proves that life after VH is not
 impossible, although he will be greatly missed. Anyway, this is a really
 easy and fun song to play, just tune down a 1/2 step and get ready. Here
 goes:
 
 Intro riff (strumming):
 
 Asus2 A Asus2 A Asus4, A Asus2 A (all x2)
 (listen to CD for strumming pattern)
 
                G                       
 Well there's another side to everything
 D Intro riff x 2
 connected like the ring around your finger
       G                           
 and I know this like I know myself
 D Intro riff x 2
 not very well yet I'm no stranger
 
 Chorus:
         E           
 but it won't be long
 D G Intro riff x 2
 cause I see Both Sides Now
 
 Verse 2:
 
      G                                    
 When nothin's gained then something's lost
 D Intro riff x 2
 pay half the price at twice...the cost
          G                      
 we're crystalized we stand alone
 D Intro riff x 2
 conviction holds like a stone
 
 Chorus
 
 Bridge:
 
 G (I like to slap here) D
 Yeah we gotta learn how to listen
 D (slap) A
 before we learn to talk
 G (slap) D
 we gotta learn to crawl
 D (slap) A
 before we learn to walk
 G (slap) D
 and if you want a little peace
 D (slap) A
 sometimes you gotta fight
 G D Intro x 2
 we gotta walk through darkness, alone, before we stand in the light
 
 oh yeah
 
 Chorus
 
 Verse 3:
 
       G                          
 We're always somewhere in between
 D Intro riff x 2
 we never taste the sweet...extreme
               G                     
 and we're crystalized we stand alone
 D Intro riff x 2
 conviction holds us like a stone
 
 Chorus
 Bridge
 Chorus
 Bridge
 Chorus...fade
 
 -Way to go Sammy, another great song. Keep on rockin!
