When Its Good
Ben Harper
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 You’re a prison I can’t escape You’re a decision I never make Heard me laughing You heard me weep and moan When it’s good it’s so so good When it’s gone it’s gone *Perhaps or 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
