Be Above It

[Intro]
"Gotta be above it, gotta be above it,
gotta be above it, gotta be above
it..."
This is the note that the synth plays
after the drums and vocals come in.
I've tried to indicate the rhythm with
the spacing, because it's kind of
strange:
E|--------------------------------------------
B|--------------------------------------------
G|--------------------------------------------
D|--------------------------------------------
A|-10----------------10----10----10--------10-
E|--------------------------------------------
1st verse:
"And I know that I gotta be above it
now,
And I know that I can't let them bring
me down,

[Refrão]
And I gotta bide my time as a face in
the crowd,
And I know that I gotta be above it
now"

[Próxima Parte]
Since there's hardly anything else
going on during the verse, here's how
to play
the vocal melody on guitar:
E|--------------------------------------------
B|--------------------------------------------
G|-------12--11-11-9-9-11-11-9----------------
D|-12-14-----------------------12.--12--\10\9-
A|--------------------------------------------
E|--------------------------------------------
G|---| (2x)
The synth keeps that note
going after each line is sung:
G|-------------------| (2x)
And the hit this chord after
the last line of the verse is sung:
2nd verse:
"And I know that I gotta be above it
now,

[Refrão] (repetir)
[Próxima Parte]
And I can't let them all just bring me
down"
  E        B
G| (2x)
  D        A         E
3rd verse - variation:
"This time I'm just gonna take it or
I'm never gonna shake it,
I'll just close my eyes and make it so
that all those little things don't
affect me now,
Know that I gotta be above it now"
For this variation you hit the Gmaj7
chord 4 times before the G major:
  E      B         G        D         A        E
This is the vocal melody for this bit on guitar:
E|-------------------------------------------
B|-------------------------------------------
G|----------12-12-11-11-9-9----9-12-12-11-11-
D|----12-14-----------------12---------------
A|-14----------------------------------------
E|-------------------------------------------
E|--------------------------------------------
B|--------------------------------------------
G|-12-12-11-11-9-9----9-12-12-11-11-9-9-11-11-
D|-----------------12-------------------------
A|--------------------------------------------
E|--------------------------------------------
D|--12.--12--\10\9----|
4th verse:
"And I can't let them all just bring me
down,
This time I'm just gonna take it or I'm
never gonna shake it,
I'll just close my eyes and make it so
that all those little things don't
affect me now"
  E        B
G| (2x)
  D   A    E
Outro:
"Gotta be above it, gotta be above it,
gotta be above it, gotta be above
it..."
