This is all my own work.

This is the new single from Audioslave's forthcoming album in May.
It's a great song to strum along with on acoustic, having a very basic
4 chord progression. Audioslave has done it again!

What you'll need: Fender Stratocaster, set to neck pickup
		  Dunlop Crybaby Wah Pedal
	 	  A bit of Morello Magic

    Bm             D                G     Em
And be yourself is all that you can do... yeah
    Bm             D                G     Em
 To be yourself is all that you can do...


Solo: I'll tab this out when I have more time. Basically all you need
to know is that Tom Morello uses his Dunlop Crybaby Wah pedal to create
the effect, pressing the pedal down with every note. The solo is in the
key of Bm (B Minor) so anything in this key will go great with the song.

My interpretation of the lyrics (mostly complete)

Someone falls to pieces
Sleeping all alone
Someone kills the pain
Spinning in the silence
She finally drifts away

Someone gets excited
In a chapel yard
Catches the boquet
Another lays a dozen
White roses on a grave

To be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do...

Someone finds salvation
In everyone
Another only pain
Someone tries to hide themself
Down inside himself he prays

Someone swears their true love
Until the end of time
Another runs away
Seperate or united
Makes us all insane

To be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do...

Even when you've paid enough
Been pulled apart
Or been held up
Every single memory of
Good or bad, faces Love

Dont lose any sleep tonight
I'm sure everything
Will end up alright
(I dont know what he says on this line)

To be yourself is all that you can do...

Have Fun and Enjoy!
