Ben Harper — When Its Good Chords

These are the right chords.  I'm not gonna tab out all of Ben's slide stuff because I
don't play slide.  Also, you can play this in standard tuning if you don't want to re—
tune the guitar to open E.


When It's Good
Ben Harper

E7 
You're a prison I can't escape
You're a decision I never make
A7
Heard me laughing
                                                E7
You heard me weep and moan
B7                           A7
When it's good, it's so, so good
               E7*   A7     E7 
When it's gone, it's gone


*Perhaps a D or G chord there?  Try it out.


That is the basic form of the song.  The rest of it continues in similar fashion.



They say time will kill the pain
I say pain is gonna kill my time
Lord won't you save me
Or leave me alone
Cause when it's good, it's so, so good
When it's gone, it's gone
Oh— gone

I hang your picture right above my mind
Don't do anything you can't deny
I could never be your pawn
Oh— cause when it's good, it's so, so good
When it's gone, it's gone

Some drink to remember
Some to forget
Some for satisfaction
Some to regret
I hope a brighter day to you I've shown
Oh— cause when it's good, it's so, so good
And when it's gone, it's gone
When it's gone, it's gone
When it's gone, it's gone
When it's gone, Oh— it's gone
