Reality Bites

"Bed of Roses" by the Indians

from the soundtrack to _Reality Bites_

This is a fairly simple song, with three discrete parts: one behind the verses

and chorus, one behind the bridge, and a third before the solo.

Part I:

--2--2--------3-----3--3-3---------------

--3--3--------3-----3--3-3----3-3--3-3---

--2--2--2-----0-----0--0-0----2-2--0-0---

--0--0--0--2--2--2--0--0-0----3-3--2-2---

-----------3-----3--2--2-2---------------

--------------------3--3-3---------------

Just play that over and over behind the verses ("Some people...") and the

chorus ("No bed of roses").

Part II:

-------1----3--|-------1----3--

--2----1----3--|--2----1----3--

--2----2----0--|--2----2----0--

--2----3----0--|--2----3----0--

--0----3----2--|--0----3----2--

-------1----3--|-------1----3--

OK, that was overkill. This goes behind the bridge: "Life/It can lift you up/

It can drag you down/Life don't have to be..."

Part III:

Then the rhythm guitar goes back to Part I, while the lead guitar starts

soloing in Dm pentatonic at the 10th fret.
