i had tender feelings that you made hard
but it's your heart, not mine, that's scarred
so when i go home I'll be happy to go
you're just somebody that i used to know

you don't need my help anymore
it's all now to you, there ain't no before
now that you're big enough to run your own show
you're just somebody that i used to know

i watched you deal in a dying day
and throw a living past away
so you can be sure that you're in control
you're just somebody that i used to know

the first part of the solo (everything before the "2/4 2 0" on the G
string) is more or less the same thing he plays in "clementine," but a bit
faster. that second part (the stuff on the A and D strings) isn't note for
note but it shows what he does...listen to the song for rhythm and
specifics...

i know you don't think you did me wrong
and i can't stay this mad for long
keeping a hold of what you just let go
you're just somebody that i used to know

solo again
