Behind Blue Eyes
Here's my version of the Who's "Behind Blue Eyes" I've given the chord structures &
-- just listen to the song and put them where they
need to go. I've used SUS chords in place of many Major or Minor chords because it
the 3rd (I like the sound). However, you can replace
my SUS chords with either Major or Minor chord (you'll just need to see
what works for you). This original version has dedicated Major or Minor
chords - this is my interpretation, and I've left it open for you.

No one knows what it's like
to be the bad man
to be the sad man
behind blue eyes
EGDDCAsus2
No one knows what it's like to be hated
to be fated
to telling only lies

none of my pain and woe
can show through
