Goodbye Alice in Wonderland ~ Jewel
Standard Tuning Capo 2
This transcription is based off her solo guitar performance found here: https://youtu.be/ADudk-wSofA
Generally this is played with a pick/strum pattern where she picks the base notes first then strums the rest
of the chord sans the base note. She varies a double-pick and single pick throughout. It is this pick stum
that makes the use of the slash chords sound right. The D/F# slash chord are generally only used in the verses
in the Chorus, she does play it once or twice, but when I play - to my ear - all the choruses should pick the
base note for the regular D.
[Intro]
C G Bm C
Its Cfour in the Gafternoon
I'm on a Bmflight leaving LCA
C Trying to figureG out my life
My Bmyouth scattered along the ChighwaC/By
AmHotel rooms in Emheadlights
GI've made a living with a D/F#song
EmGuitar as my companCion
Wanting Gdesperately toD/F# belong
EmFameD/F# is filled with Gspoiled children
EmThey grow D/F#fat on fanGtasy Em
D/F#I guess that's why I'm Gleaving
D/F#I crave reality
[Chorus]
So GgoodCbye DAlice Gin Wonderland
GCoodbye yellow brick Droad
GThere is a Cdifference between Ddreaming and Gpretending
I did not find Emparadise
C It was only a reflection
Of my Glonely mind Dwanting
Whats was missing in myCadd9 life
C I'm embarrassed to say
The Grest is a rock and roll cliché
I hit the Bmbottom when I reached the Ctop
C But I never knew it was you
G Who was breaking my heart
Am I thought you had to love me
But you did Gnot
Am Yes, a heart can Emhallucinate
G When it's completely D/F#starved for love
Am It can even make Emmonsters into
GAngels from D/F#above
EmYou D/F#forged my love lGike a weapon
EmAnd D/F#you turned it agGainst me like a knife
EmYou D/F#broke my last heGart string
D/F# But you opened up my eyes
[Chorus]
So GgoodCbye DAlice Gin Wonderland
GoCodbye yellow brick Droad
GThere is a Cdifference between Ddreaming and Gpretending
That was not love in your Emeyes
C It was only a reflection
Of my Glonely mind Dwishing
For what's been missing in my Cadd9life
EmAnd growing up is not the D/F#absence of dreaming
It'sG being able to undeCrstand the difference between
The Bmones you can hold and the Cones that you've been Dsold
EmAnd dreaming is a good thing
'Cause it D/F#brings new things to life
But preGtending is an ending
That Cperpetuates a lie
BmForgetting what you are
CSeeing for what you've been Dtold
Em Truth is D/F#stranger than Gfiction
Em This is my D/F#chance to get it Gright Em
DLife is much Gbetter
Without all of D/F#those pretty lies
[Chorus]
So GgoodCbye DAlice in GWonderland
You can Ckeep your yellow brick Droad
GThere is a Cdifference between Ddreaming and Gpretending
These are not tEmears in my eyes
C They are only a reflection
Of my Glonely mind fDinding
C They are only a reflection
Of my Glonely mind fDinding
I've found what's missing in my Cadd9life G
