Alice Cooper - Give the kid a break

This one is kinda tricky with the timing, so you kinda have to know what your doing, but
chords are all there. p.s. this was a hard song to tab


Don't   know why I'm
down here
FF
 Must be something I said
        F#7F#7      C majorC
Or some small imperfection
E MajorE       A minorAm C7/G FF     D/F#D/F#
In my soul or in my head
     D7D7        G+G    F#7F#7 G+G
Don't know why I'm down here
Don't reserve to roast or bake
I'm fighting off slanderous allegations
Why don't you give the kid a break?
G+G                      C majorC  FF  C majorC
 Don't you think maybe we could talk this over
E MajorE        A minorAm
You're a reasonable man
       C majorC            D MajorD D#D# E MajorE
Could we discuss my grave situation
         A minorAm                   G+G
I'm a miserable man
     F#*
And I'm in the frying pan
    D MajorD      G+G

Chorus:
Give the kid a break
            C majorC  - BB - E minorEm - G+G
Give me one good reason why I should
All right, all right, so I made a few mistakes
But for heaven's sake
Watch your language, Kid.
OK, OK, don't get hot

Don't
 question my judgement
           FF
He only reaped what he sowed
       F#7F#7          C majorC
He cast his pearls before swine
E MajorE        A minorAm   C7/G  FF
 D/F#D/F#
And that's good enough for me
             D7D7       G+G  F#7F#7 G+G

Solo (Verse  chord progression)

I don't want to talk it over
Even tho' I'm a reasonable man
Sonny, from over here
Looks like you're in no position to bargain
You're a convicted man
You're right in the frying pan
Give the kid a break
Please give me a break
Give the kid a break
Nah nah, I don't think so, man
Come on, you know I got what it takes
Can't you give me a break?
Sure thing kid, when hell freezes over
Ok, don't give the kid a break
Hey you guys, I thought you were on my side
No they don't
Give the kid a break
Yeah, well thanks a lot, pals
Listen boss, maybe we can make a little deal
Isn't there anything I can say
Or some kind of fine I can pay
Something
Don't know why I'm down here
Must be something I said (I'm sorry)
Or some small imperfection
In my soul or in my head
It might be some infection
It might be a small imperfection or a clear case of misdirection
It must be a small imperfection
In my soul or in my head
Give the kid a break
