Chords for Good Noise - John Gorka

[D] _ _ _ This is [N] from, let's see, when this record came out, [F#] 1994, I think.
It was a record called Out of the Valley.
And this _ _ [B] _ [F#] [N] is a song about making a good noise.
I guess as I demonstrated with that last one, it's not a thing that comes, a positive thing
doesn't really come all that easy to me.
_ I try to have a good attitude, but I don't think it's going to get me anywhere.
_ [F#] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F#m] So this is a song [N]
about making a good noise.
It's not about the big things that people should and can and should fight for and fight
against in the world.
It's more about accentuating the positive and small ways that add up and [Am] make a [D] difference.
This is called Good Noise, and hopefully I can play it for you. _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ [C#] _ [F#] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Tell me the truth, what are you living [E] for?
[B] Tell me why, [F#] why are you here?
Cause you cannot make yourself a good [B] noise.
Tell me, [F#] what are you doing here?
Tell me the truth, what are you [E] living for?
[B] Tell me why, [F#] why are you here?
Cause you cannot make yourself a good [B] noise.
Just tell [F#] me what you need. _ _ _ _ _
Now _ _ _ _ _ _ _ we all got the hand for the giving,
We all [B] got the love for the much obliged,
[F#] But when it comes down to giving back,
We [C#] give the eye to the kind of guy,
[F#] Oh it seems there's so much trouble,
It's [B] simply caused by the human work,
[F#] All those times we gave virtue,
I [B] say it's a good [F#] noise that we prefer,
Tell me the truth, what are you [E] living for?
[B] Tell me why, [F#] why are you here?
Cause you cannot make yourself a good voice,
[B] Tell [F#] me what you do here,
Tell me the truth, what are you living for?
Tell [B] me why, why [F#] are you here?
Cause you cannot make yourself a good voice,
[B] Tell me [F#] what you do here.
_ Oh, oh, oh,
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
You may have every right and reason,
[B] To be down in the dumps today,
But [F#] aren't you just adding to the problem?
You got nothing good to say,
But you're a kind of war and disease,
And just as I mentioned, [B] you're barking off [F#] my hand,
Tell me how can you ever [E] take a breath of hope,
[B] Talking down on [F#] your fellow man?
Tell me the truth, what are you living for?
[B] Tell me why, [F#] why are you here?
Cause you cannot make yourself a good voice,
Tell [B] me what [F#] you do here,
Tell me the truth, what are you living for?
[B] Tell me why, [F#] why are you here?
Cause you cannot make yourself a good [B] voice,
Tell [F#] me what you do here,
Cause you cannot make yourself [F#m] a good voice,
[B] Tell me what [F#] you do here.
_ Oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh,
Oh, _ oh, oh,
_ [N] _ _
