But Anyway Chords
But Anyway by Blues Traveler is a moderately challenging guitar song played in the key of B. It uses the chords B, E, E7, A and D. Use the transpose and diagram tools on this page to change the key, see each shape, or simplify the chords.
This is a correction to the rythm part tabbed before. It's played a little
jazzy, so feel free to improvise the rythm and spice it up with some palm
muting.

Lyrics:
I lied and told her I loved her
she didn't care but anyway
I told her we'd still be friends
and she didn't care but anyway
I tried last week for to call her
she wasn't home but anyway
I think I'll spend my life alone
I really don't care right now but anyway
=09it's a state of affairs
=09and a state of emotions
=09the kind of thing you must
=09understand
=09I tell you one thing
=09you'll tell me another
=09we walk away
=09maybe then shake hands
I'm quitting cigarette smoking
it's bad for me but anyway
I don't think the TV was joking
when it told me this but anyway
the newsman said not to sit on
strange toilet seats
it's my life he's trying to save but anyway
I found out that I got eye cancer
too many television waves but anyway
=09Chorus
some day an anser will find us
quite a long shot but anyway
I think the past is behind us
be real confusing if not but anyway
I put all my hope in tomorrow
it's gonna be great I can tell but anyway
I see a new day a dawning
I like to sleep late, oh well, but anyway
=09Chorus
Please contact me if I have made any mistakes.
peace
