Very great Pretenders song with an awesome bass line...
Main Riff:
G------------------------------
D---------7-8-9--------6-6-6--
A---------------7~----7-7-7----
E---7-5------------------------
Thats the main riff for most of the song.
"..Way to go Ohio..." part:
G--------- G----------9-10-11-----
D--7-7---- 3x then... D-7-7----------------9~
A------9-7 A-----9-7--------------
E--------- E----------------------
Then the bridge back to the verse:
G------ G----
D------ D----
A-7-7-- Quickly 7x A--7
E-----0 E----
Then just go back to the verse and follow that riff. The main riff has some variations
but it's not that hard to figure out. This is my first tab and I know this song is fairly
accurate. Have fun playing this great bass line!
Legend:
7~ hold
7 slide down

| As part of the deal to allow Rush Limbaugh to continue using this as his theme, he has to donate royalties from it to PETA (one of Hynde's favorite causes). Way to get the last laugh. | |

| An ironic twist to that tale of sadness is the fact that fat fuck face Rush Limbaugh uses this tune as his theme song. Maybe it's because the way he sees the government as having no pride. I can't blame him there but he stumps for the conservative, Republican causes which stands for pure greed and unchecked economic development. To me, Chrissy Hynde never striked me as the type who would write a song that backed 'The Man'. She self-exiled herself to England and she cited her term at Kent State University as a major reason for it. In the eyes of the fat fuck face, I am sure that she's a 'lefty femi-nazi' or something like that. That's why I find it ironic that he chose this song to be his theme song. | |

| This is about Chrissy Hynde's return home after the great shutdown of the 1970's. This must be her lament for Ohio before the days of the Rust Belt. At the same time, the government is letting other industries plow over her beautiful home state. I guess this is what happens when economic development runs unchecked. | |

| Great lyrics, very true. The city referred to in the song is Chrissy Hynde's hometown of Akron, Ohio. South Howard is a section of Howard Street in Akron that was bulldozed to build the Innerbelt, a spur of highway that borders the downtown area. In the process, hundreds of businesses and homes were demolished. Many Akron residents also deem the Innerbelt unnecessary. Also, I'm from Cuyahoga Falls, so I get an extra thrill hearing my hometown get name-checked! | |
