LIVING IT UP (THE SUN GOES DOWN)
                                    Level 42

Intro
||-------|--------------------------||
||o------|---------2------4----2-2-o||
||o------|-----2-4----2-4----4-----o||
||-------|--------------------------||
 

Then, before the verse:
|-------4-2---------|--------------------------||
|-----------4-2-----|---------2------4----2-2--||
|---------------2-4-|-2---2-4----2-4----4------||
|-------------------|--------------------------||
 

Then the verse. This part is played very staccato,
i.e the notes are slightly shorter than they should
be. But you know how it's supposed to sound.
 
||----------------------|---------------|
||o---------------------|---------------|
||o----------0-2-4--4---|---------------|
||--2-2-2--4----------2-|----2p0-0-0--0-|
 

|-------------------|--------------------||
|-----------------2-|-4--4-4-2--2-2-3-4-o||
|----------0-2-4----|-------------------o||
|-2-2--2-4----------|--------------------||
 

Then this is the part when Mark King decides it would
sound good for him to rap. Again, very staccato.
                                               4x
||----2--2----------------|--------------------||
||o------------0-0-1h2----|-0-0-1-------------o||
||o-0------4-4----------4-|-------------------o||
||------------------------|--------0--0-x-12--||
 

This is it. Except for the little fill, where two notes
are popped at one point. As far as I know, it goes 
something like:
 
|---6(p4)------6(p4)---------|
 
They're in brackets, because  you do them really quickly,
just at the end of them, not as notes in themselves.

	Maybe the hat is death or life. I think it is about time to come, you don't know what time will bring to you: "There are twenty years to go, And many friends I’d hope. Though some may hold the rose, some hold the rope." In your life to come you will meet friends and some friends will be good, some will be bad. (maybe it isn't even literal..) "There are twenty years to go, The punch-drunk and the blow, The worst of starts; the mercy part; the phone." I think this line is about Bryan who's been threatened by a person who called himself 'evil dildo' over the phone (there you've got the song). And that was the mercy part the part where Bryan didn't got killed or something but was 'saved'. The medicine show is drugs. Concentrate on more than meets the eye is obvious in my opinion,, just follow your heart or something. "But all will pass will end to fast, you know" After the figurative 20 years you will have the feeling like damn.. time passed fast and you have the feeling that you have lost years. The one line that I like most is "you're the truth not I" but I don't know what it means
