The Rat Who Would Be King / Matthew Good Band / The Audio Of Being / 2001
Tabbed by Kathtastrophy
Tuning: Standard

I adapted this song for rhythm acoustic. Its very simple and you can play it along
to the song. Like all Good’s songs play around with hammer-ons and completely
removing strings from a chord.
This a very basic outline.
Be creative with it.

G 320033
Am x02210
C x32010
F 133211 F and Fmaj9 are somewhat interchangeable
Fmaj9 x33010 I prefer the sound of Fmaj9 though
G/Am 302210
F#/Am 20(2)210
F/Am 10(2)210 or A regular barred F

Listen to the song to get the timing. If its confusing I can make a video.

Intro

Verse 1:
Even a blind
squirrel finds a nut
once in a while
Once you’re in you’re pretty much fucked
When I was the rat
The rat who would be king
I imagined typhoid
and us alone always us alone

Chorus:
And I’ve waited on the sidelines all this time all this time
And I’ve a grenade with our names scratched on the side
But that’s just love
And you know that love’s [G/Am]not e[F#/Am]nough[F/Am]
Love'[G/Am]s not[F#/Am] enoug[F/Am]h

G Am C Fmaj9 x2

Verse2: (same as 1: G Am C Fmaj9)
Crawl from the sea
Wait for some thumbs
A greatness to breed
Build the Mall of America

When I was the rat
The rat who would be king
I imagined ashes and us alone
Always us alone

Chorus:
And I’ve waited on the sidelines all this time all this time
And I’ve a grenade with our names scratched on the side
But that’s just love
And you know that love’s [G/Am]not e[F#/Am]nough[F/Am]
Love’s[G/Am] not [F#/Am]enough[F/Am] (x3)

Outro: Am G/Am F#/Am F/Am

For the end chorus I prefer using a G/C instead of C and the F instead of F/Am.
Gives it more impact.
